Proxy SwitchyOmega

Manage and switch between multiple proxies quickly & easily.

Proxy SwitchyOmega is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to simplify proxy management. Unlike traditional system settings, it allows quick switching between multiple proxies with just one click. Features include HTTP/HTTPS proxy authentication, flexible proxy configurations, automatic proxy switching based on website rules, and enhanced performance for PAC scripts.

This free and open-source tool does not include proxies or VPNs but serves as a perfect proxy configuration manager. Users can easily report issues, and translations are actively supported. Note that it conflicts with other proxy-controlling extensions due to browser design limitations, but it offers solutions to manage priority conflicts effectively.
