Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Changing proxy settings has never been so convenient. Think SwitchyOmega as a modern version of the "Proxy Settings" dialog, designed to be simpler, quicker and more powerful, specially optimized for your browser.

No more digging through the advanced section in system settings. No repeated filling and clearing the proxy config dialog of your operating system. Just tell SwitchyOmega about all your proxies, and enjoy switching with one click on the popup menu. You can also teach Auto Switch to use the right proxy for the right website automatically.

NOTE: Please report issues by RIGHT-clicking the extension icon and select the "Report Issue" in the context menu so that I can locate and fix the issue more quickly.

SwitchyOmega is absolutely free and open source. It does not insert ads into any website. It contains absolutely no malware. It just does proxy configuration, and aims to be perfect tool of that.

Disclaimer: SwitchyOmega does not come with any proxy server, VPNs or anything like that. Thus, SwitchyOmega will not magically unblock websites or protect your privacy, unless you instruct it to use a proxy server which does. You should only use trusted proxy servers, because SwitchyOmega can not protect you from bad proxies that inject ads, track you or record your password. And if you don't have a proxy server, you probably won't need SwitchyOmega. Sounds reasonable, right?

tl;dr: If you see "appears to be corrupt", search and install ZeroOmega, a fork of this extension. Be careful not to install some other malicious ones!!! Some of you may see that "the add-on appears to be corrupt". It is because google has upgrade extension manifest v2 to v3 and this plugin is no longer maintained. There is a community fork of this plugin called ZeroOmega available on github: zero-peak/ZeroOmega. Someone upgraded it to v3 manifest so is able to be installed. Also, be aware that some SwitchyOmega copies contain malicious code and will inject unsafe code. Be careful with that!
