Overview Take command of your browser's network activity with Proxy & Request Interceptor. Designed for web developers, QA testers, security professionals, and power users, this extension offers robust proxy management capabilities combined with detailed network request logging and inspection tools. Gain granular insight into how web pages load resources, interact with APIs, and utilize your network connection, all while easily routing your traffic through the proxies you define. Core Features

Advanced Proxy Management:
- Multiple Proxy Profiles: Configure and save settings for various proxy servers (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS v4/v5 - adjust based on actual support).
- Easy Activation: Quickly switch between configured proxies or direct connection via the extension's popup or options page.
- Clear Status Indication: Always know which proxy profile is currently active (if any).
- Dedicated Options Page: A comprehensive interface (options.html) for adding, editing, deleting, and organizing your proxy server details (address, port, username/password - if authentication supported).
Network Request Logging & Interception:
- Real-time Monitoring: Observe network requests initiated by the active browser tab as they happen.
- Detailed Information: Log essential data for each request, including:
  - Full URL
  - Request Method (GET, POST, etc.)
