Proxy Switcher is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline your proxy management. With an intuitive toolbar popup, users can quickly switch between five proxy categories, each visually indicated by a changing badge icon color, ensuring clear awareness of the active proxy state.

This extension supports advanced proxy configurations including PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) files and scripts. Users can set PAC URLs directly in the extension and manage domain whitelisting via an easy-to-use bypass list, separating multiple domains with commas. Real-time notifications inform you instantly about the current proxy status after any change.

Ideal for users who require frequent proxy switching, or need to bypass proxies for specific domains, Proxy Switcher simplifies complex proxy setups into manageable steps without leaving your browser toolbar. Bug reports and support are accessible through the add-on's homepage for continuous improvements.

User reviews

Users find Proxy Switcher simple, reliable, and appreciate its Proxy PAC support. However, many report limitations such as only supporting one proxy at a time, lack of per-site proxy options, no SOCKS proxy support, and usability issues like no save button for settings and frequent browser notifications, impacting convenience and flexibility.

Pros

Functionality works correctly and reliably for many users.
Supports Proxy PAC files, which is highly appreciated.
Simple and easy to use without intrusive features or privacy concerns.
Allows manual proxy configuration.

Cons

Only one custom proxy can be used at a time, limiting flexibility.
Lacks ability to apply proxy settings to specific websites or exclude certain sites from proxy usage.
Does not support SOCKS proxies, only HTTP proxies are supported.
No save button for custom proxy settings causing loss of settings on refresh.
Frequently shows notifications on browser start, which some users find annoying.

Единственное норм приложение которое работает. Но не хватает одной функции. Не исключать отдельные сайты из сканирования а добавить возможность чтобы прокси использовался только для определенных сайтов. Например мне нужно чтобы прокси работал только для ютуба. Но мне приходится внести куча сайтов в список только ради одного сайта. Сделайте пожалуйста эту функцию и это будет топ расширение

Extension safety

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.

Proxy Switcher 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 an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge 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 an Edge add-on.

Proxy Switcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
