Extension summary

This extension helps developers to change their proxy in Chrome using a simple JavaScript programming code.

To using this extension you can use the popup window directly or use a JavaScript code to change the Proxy.

Using with JavaScript: Note: This extension always adds a hidden button to the document.body with id = 'btn-set-proxy-address__extension'. You can get this button with code document.getElementById('btn-set-proxy-address__extension')

This extension uses some data attributes to get the proxy settings. you have to set 'data-proxy-address', 'data-proxy-username' and 'data-proxy-password' attributes to the 'btn-set-proxy-address__extension' button to set your proxy settings.

Consider the following example: var btnProxy = document.getElementById('btn-set-proxy-address__extension'); btnProxy.setAttribute('data-proxy-address', '152.52.15.55:3125'); btnProxy.setAttribute('data-proxy-username', 'user1'); /* proxy username and password are optional / btnProxy.setAttribute('data-proxy-password', 'xK25j99'); / proxy username and password are optional */

btnProxy.click(); /* this line will change your proxy */
