FoxyProxy Basic par Eric Jung, erosman

FoxyProxy is owned and developed consistently by the same few people since 2006. It has never been sold and never will.

WHAT IS IT?
FoxyProxy is a Firefox and Chrome extension that switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers. Proxies can be switched by:

1. point-and-click of colored icons in a popup menu
2. URL - define URL patterns with wildcards or regular expressions
3. browser tab - set individual proxies per tab!
4. Firefox container or Private Browsing windows - define different proxies for each container

SOME FEATURES

• Automatically switch proxy by: browser tab, URL patterns, firefox container, private browsing window, or manually select from a drop-down list
• Customize colors and country flags to make it easy to see which proxy is in use
• Import/Export all of your settings, or just URL patterns, to share with others. Optionally synchronize proxy settings with your other Firefox instances when you use Firefox Sync.
• Keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch proxies and perform other actions
• Turn WebRTC on/off to further limit discovery of your IP address
• Quick-Add to quickly add new URL patterns to proxy settings
• Globally exclude any website from all proxying
• Built-in pattern tester to test and debug your URL patterns
• Advanced logging shows you which proxies were used and when so you can debug problems
• Extensive built-in help

• host permission: Required to proxy all webRequests and provide proxy server authentication. all_urls is used because users may choose to load any/all URLs through proxy servers (chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired and chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener) .

No remote code is used in this extension.

Why is there a crypto library in this extension?
The crypto library is needed to migrate encrypted settings from an old version to version 8.x and above. It is not used to encrypt anything; only to decrypt old data when upgrading from version 3.x -> 8.x. If you are not upgrading from 3.x, this library is never used.
