## Description

Proxy Toggler gives you precise control over your browser's network routing. Designed for developers and privacy-conscious users, it allows you to configure a custom SOCKS proxy (defaulting to 127.0.0.1:1080) and toggle it on the fly without digging into browser settings.

<em>Key Features:</em>
-    Dual Routing Modes: Choose between Browser Proxy (routes all traffic globally) and Tab Proxy (routes only the specific tabs you select).
-    Granular Tab Control: Enable or disable the proxy on a per-tab basis with visual status indicators directly in the extension popup.
-    Smart Automation: Optionally auto-proxy any newly opened tabs while in Tab Proxy mode.
-    Bulk Actions: Instantly proxy all currently open tabs or clear all proxy rules with a single click.
-    Remote DNS: Native support for proxying DNS requests to prevent local DNS leaks.
-    Persistent Settings: Your host, port, and routing preferences are saved locally and persist across browser sessions.
