Short description	Manage SOCKS, PAC, and direct proxies with profiles. Switch seamlessly and monitor failed resources with Proxy Switcher and Manager Chrome extension.	Enable proxies per site automatically with customizable patterns. One‑click rules, server switching, no tracking, ad‑free — configure once and forget.
Full summary	The Proxy Switcher and Manager Chrome extension enables efficient and flexible proxy management directly within your browser without changing OS network settings. It supports multiple proxy types including SOCKS, PAC scripts, and Direct connections, allowing users to switch between profiles easily. The toolbar icon shows the current proxy mode, with badge notifications indicating failed resource loads for quick diagnostics. Key features include profile management to store various proxy configurations, inline and remote PAC script support, error logging for failed connections, and customizable toolbar badges for better proxy identification. This open-source extension is designed for low resource usage when inactive, making proxy switching seamless and unobtrusive. Utilize this tool to enhance your privacy, access restricted content, and customize your proxy settings flexibly within Chrome.	SmartProxy automatically enables or disables a proxy for the sites you visit using customizable rule patterns. Configure a rule once (or add the current site with one click) and SmartProxy will route matching site traffic through your chosen proxy without further manual steps. The extension is ad‑free, does not provide proxy servers, and does not track you. Built as a modern WebExtension inspired by legacy AutoProxy projects, SmartProxy supports multiple proxy servers, quick mode switching (including global proxification), per‑request decision making, a Proxy API for subscriptions, and backup/restore of settings and rules. It’s designed to simplify access to blocked content while discouraging misuse of the tool.
