In this post, we will answer the question – What is Proxy SwitchyOmega?
There are many reasons why you would need to browse with a proxy. However, the most common reasons are to bypass geographical restrictions and hide your online identity.
While it’s easy to set up a proxy on your browser, it becomes an inconvenience when you have to set up a new one every now and then. You can save yourself the stress of having to configure proxies by using a tool like Proxy SwitchyOmega.
Without further ado, I’ll show you what you need to know about it.
Proxy SwitchyOmega is a browser extension developed by FelisCastus. The developer described it as the “modern version of the Proxy Settings” in web browsers. This extension is available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers and featured on their respective web stores.
With Proxy SwitchyOmega, you don’t have to go through much hassle to change your browser’s proxy settings. Everything you need is featured on a simple interface. It lets you set multiple proxies as you need, so you can easily switch between them.
Also, it works automatically such that you can specify specific websites to load with specific proxies. Whenever you visit such websites, it switches to the specified proxy.
