## Description

Proxy Cat lets you route traffic with intent. Create reusable proxy profiles, map them to website patterns, and override per tab or tab group. The popup gives a quick dashboard for the current tab, while the options page is built for bulk profile and rule management. Import/export JSON keeps setup portable across machines.
