Quick & Dirty Proxy Flipper Extension

This is an extremely simple proxy switcher, allowing you to switch between:

- localhost socks5 on 1080: for ssh -D or others
- localhost socks5 on 9050: for tor
- localhost http on 8080: for request twiddling proxies
- other
- system
- direct

It also has a check box to avoid sending google queries to the proxies.

It is not meant in anyway to be fully featured. It is what it is. Quick and dirty.
