## Description

SwitchyAgain is a modern proxy profile manager for browser users who need fast, reliable proxy switching. Save multiple proxy configurations, organize them with profile groups, switch between them from the toolbar popup or context menus, and use Auto Switch rules to choose the right proxy for matching websites automatically.

<strong>Key features</strong>
<ul><li>Direct, system, fixed proxy, PAC, and rule-based profiles</li><li>Rule lists, temporary rules, and Auto Switch rules</li><li>Global proxy exceptions and supplemental bypass lists linked to profiles and profile groups</li><li>Request Lens diagnostics for route tracing and request inspection</li><li>Profile scope controls for global profiles and separate normal/private defaults</li><li>Firefox-only profile assignments for tabs, tab groups, pages, sites, and containers</li><li>Firefox-only SOCKS5 username/password authentication and SOCKS5 local DNS support</li><li>Backup and restore, Browser Sync, and WebDAV Sync</li></ul>
<strong>Important:</strong> SwitchyAgain does not provide proxy servers or proxy service. It manages proxy settings through the proxy APIs provided by your browser.

SwitchyAgain is based on SwitchyOmega and continues its proxy-switching workflow for current browser extension platforms.
