Privacy Policy
Proxy Switcher is a browser extension that manages a list of proxies and automatically switches to the next one when the current proxy is blocked, rate-limited, or returns an error.
LAST UPDATED — AUGUST 2026
01 Data the extension handles
-
＋
Proxy configuration, including credentials When you import a proxy, its host, port, and — if provided — username and password are stored locally on your device so the extension can connect to and authenticate with it.
-
＋
Page title and body text To detect a blocked or rate-limited proxy, the extension reads the current page's title and visible text for error indicators (e.g. "403 Forbidden", "Too Many Requests") and checks HTTP status codes (429, 403, 405) on network responses. This happens in memory, on your device, only to decide whether to switch proxies.
02 What we don't do
- −No transmissionProxy credentials, page content, and browsing activity are never sent to any server we or a third party operate.
- −No sale or sharingYour data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties.
- −No unrelated useNothing is used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond switching proxies.
- −No history loggingThe sites you visit are not tracked or logged over time.
- −No credit or lending useData is never used to assess creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
03 Where data is stored
All data — your proxy list, credentials, and settings — is stored locally on your device using the browser's chrome.storage.local API. It stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension. Nothing is uploaded to a remote server.
04 Permissions
Each permission below maps to a specific piece of functionality — none are requested speculatively.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| proxy | Apply and clear the browser's proxy configuration. |
| storage | Save your proxy list and settings locally. |
| tabs | Associate a detected page error with the correct browser tab. |
| webRequest | Inspect HTTP response status codes that trigger an automatic switch. |
| webRequestAuthProvider | Supply proxy authentication credentials automatically when required. |
| host permissions (all sites) | Blocking or rate-limiting can occur on any site, so responses must be monitorable anywhere the user browses. |
