Oxylabs Proxy Extension Extension

Oxy® Proxy Extension is not only free but also works with any proxy provider of your choice. Enable your proxy without having to jump through settings and menu options.

Why should you use the Oxy® Chrome Extension?

By using a proxy server that acts as an intermediary between your computer and the internet, you can hide your real location or access websites that would otherwise be blocked. For example, you can send requests from a different country and access websites that are not available in your current location.

With the Oxy Proxy extension, you can simplify your proxy management. All you need is a couple of clicks, and that’s it!

Features and benefits:
* Add and switch between multiple proxies
* One-click connection
* Use multiple proxy providers while using only one extension
* Maintain the same IP address for multiple requests
* Switch between any proxy type or HTTP(S) and SOCKS protocols
* Add unlimited proxies
* WPAD: proxy information is not displayed in the request header.

How to set up Oxy® Proxy Extension?

1. Download and add the extension to your browser
2. Open the application
3. Add your proxy profile
4. Connect with one click

Олег Бездомный (ID: 0000009251ac0207) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/08/2023 Хорошее расширение. Минимум настроек, всё просто и ясно. Указал адрес прокси-сервера и готово.

Alexey S (Ranma00) (ID: 00000048699f44b0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/26/2023 Very buggy: Sometimes "forgets" about the proxy settings on restart Sometimes it does not put username/password into Chrome settings, and it shows a window asking to enter them. Sometimes after restart it turns on proxy, though it shows it turned off. It may cause loss of money, in case of paid proxy.

Stanislav Navarici (ID: 000000438eaa44c2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 extremely buggy. - Few times deleted completely proxies I created. That happened after I closed and opened chrome. And that doesn't happen every time I do that. So that is phantom bug - another bug that cause a lot of headache is drag&drop of proxies to set them in proper order. When I do that they replace each other, for example if I put proxy #10 on position #2, then proxy from position #2 change it's position to #10. So they swap each other. WHAT THE HELL??
