Can I import my SwitchyOmega profiles into ZeroOmega?

Yes. ZeroOmega supports direct import of SwitchyOmega profile files. Go to ZeroOmega Options, select Import, and choose your SwitchyOmega export file. All profiles, proxy servers, and rules should transfer.

Is FoxyProxy compatible with Chrome 138?

Yes. FoxyProxy Standard has been updated to support Manifest V3 and works with Chrome 138 and later versions.

Do I need a proxy extension, or can I use browser settings?

Browser proxy settings work for basic single-proxy setups but offer less flexibility for switching between multiple profiles or using auto-switch rules. If you manage multiple proxy configurations, an extension is more convenient.

How do I know if a proxy extension is safe?

Proxy extensions can access all your browser traffic. Only install from the official Chrome Web Store, verify the developer, and understand the permissions before installing. Review the number of users, ratings, and recent reviews.

What happens to my settings if I switch extensions?

If you exported your profiles first, ZeroOmega can import them directly. Other alternatives may require manual reconfiguration of each proxy profile.

Are community forks like ZeroOmega safe?

ZeroOmega is a community project. Review its GitHub repository for transparency, check the Chrome Web Store listing, and verify the permissions match the stated functionality. Like any extension, make an informed decision before installing.

ZeroOmega: Best for SwitchyOmega Users

ZeroOmega was created specifically as a SwitchyOmega successor. It supports direct import of SwitchyOmega profile files, maintains the same proxy protocol support (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5), and includes auto-switch rules based on URL patterns. The interface closely mirrors SwitchyOmega.

FoxyProxy Standard: Established Alternative

FoxyProxy has been available in the Chrome Web Store for years with a solid reputation. It offers pattern-based proxy switching, multiple proxy configurations, and MV3 compatibility. The Standard version works well with Chrome 138 and later.

Proxy Switcher and Manager: Simple Option

For users who only need to switch between a few proxy servers occasionally, Proxy Switcher and Manager provides a straightforward interface. It may lack advanced features but is easier to configure for basic use cases.
