User reviews

Simple Proxy Switcher is praised for its simplicity, ease of use, and reliability as a Chrome proxy manager. Users appreciate its minimalistic interface and support for login credentials. However, common issues include lack of SOCKS support, occasional failures requiring reinstalling, absence of domain exclusion features, and poor proxy management when handling many proxies due to missing naming/tag support. Some also report speed and lag problems post updates. Despite these, it remains favored for straightforward proxy switching.
