## Description

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.
