What is SmartProxy?
SmartProxy is a versatile Firefox extension that employs patterns to automatically define rules to proxify your web experience. It intelligently detects when to enable or disable proxy as per visited websites. Its inspiration draws from AutoProxy and AutoProxy-ng but stands as a superior solution written from scratch using WebExtensions, offering more functionality. It perfectly blends user-friendly features with advanced options such as switching between many proxy servers, one-click proxy list addition, real-time viewing of site items and requests, support for Proxy API through subscriptions, and the ability to backup and restore settings.
