How to Use Proxies With Proxy SwitchyOmega

Proxy SwitchyOmega, or SwitchyOmega for short, is a proxy manager that lets users handle and switch between multiple proxies. It quickens the process and helps make it easier to handle. Though it can work on other browsers, SwitchyOmega is specifically designed and optimized for Google Chrome.

Proxy SwitchyOmega doesn’t actually provide you with proxies because it’s only an extension that helps you manage all of your proxies. You still need a proxy provider to supply you with all your needed proxies.
