Features & Capabilities

The Reload PAC Button Chrome extension offers a convenient way to refresh Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) definitions without navigating through multiple menu options. Once installed, users can simply click the button to immediately refresh the PAC file, ensuring that any updates or changes to proxy configurations are applied promptly. This functionality replicates the traditional manual process found under Options > Network Proxy > Settings... > Reload, streamlining the task into a single click.

Ideal for users who frequently update or rely on PAC files for their network configurations, this extension improves workflow efficiency by saving time and reducing complexity. The straightforward interface and easy access make managing your browser's proxy settings seamless and hassle-free.

User Reviews

Great plugin that does what it promises. Only one bug: It disables the ability to modify the current selection on the proxy dialog, so if you have selected another option but WPAD, it does reload WPAD settings.

Useful for me (for some reason my Firefox refuses to follow the system proxy settings as I get on and off the company VPN). However it breaks sometimes after new Firefox releases. Right now it's broken again on 78.4.0esr (64-bit).

Is Reload PAC button Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Reload PAC button requires very minimum permissions.
