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 appreciate Proxy Switcher for its straightforward, effective proxy switching and support for Proxy PAC files without intrusive features. However, multiple reviews highlight significant limitations such as support for only one custom proxy at a time, lack of site-specific proxy application, absence of a save button leading to lost settings, no SOCKS proxy support, and forced reliance on system proxy mode. These issues affect usability and flexibility, preventing it from being a top-tier proxy management tool.

Pros

Works effectively for basic proxy switching needs
Supports Proxy PAC files, which is valuable for advanced configurations
Simple and straightforward to use
Does not include intrusive features that compromise user privacy

Cons

Only one custom proxy can be used at a time, limiting flexibility
Lacks functionality to apply proxy only to specific websites, forcing users to list many sites unnecessarily
No save button for custom proxy settings, causing loss of configurations upon refresh
Does not support SOCKS proxies, restricting proxy protocol options
Sometimes forces switching to system proxy mode and only supports HTTP connections

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
