Features & Capabilities

The SOCKS5 Proxy Changer Chrome extension allows users to seamlessly rotate among a list of UK Mullvad SOCKS5 proxy servers. This functionality is especially useful for bypassing site blocks related to VPN usage, such as restrictions encountered on platforms like Reddit.

To ensure proper operation, users must enable the extension to run in private windows. Future updates may include support for additional locations and the ability to exclude specific sites from proxy use, though currently, manual exclusion is necessary. This tool enhances your browsing privacy and access with minimal effort.

Is SOCKS5 Proxy Changer 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.

SOCKS5 Proxy Changer requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
