Proxy SwitchyOmega Alternatives
Proxy SwitchyOmega was so good, people are using it more than eight years after it ceased development. Surely good alternatives would have developed in that time. And they have! Here are some good Proxy SwitchyOmega alternatives for managing your proxies with the least possible amount of hassle.


1. ZeroOmega
ZeroOmega is the biggest, most popular fork of SwitchyOmega. So it has all the things you love from the original, but with additional eight years of refinement and support.
- Open-source
- Chrome, Firefox, and Edge support
- Comes with a tutorial
- Network monitor functionality
- No in-built proxies
- May be too much like Proxy SwitchyOmega

2. Webshare Proxy Extension
Webshare Proxy Extension is the opposite of ZeroOmega: it’s not open source, you need a Webshare account to use it, and it only works with Webshare proxies. On the other hand, it’s a good starting choice as the account comes with 10 datacenter proxies for you to take for a spin.
- Chrome support
- 10 free datacenter proxies
- Integrated support for purchasing and using Webshare proxies
- Chrome only
- Can’t bring your own proxies
- Basic functionality

3. Oxylabs Proxy Extension
A proxy extension from a prominent proxy provider. If you’re OK with the functionality provided by Proxy SwitchyOmega, Oxylabs Proxy Extension isn’t that far behind.
- Chrome support
- Settings for reconnecting the proxy after restarting the browser
- Integrated support for purchasing and using Oxylabs proxies
- Free 5 datacenter proxies in the US if you register
- Chrome only
- No autoswitching

4. FoxyProxy Extension
FoxyProxy is a popular proxy extension brand offering three different tiers of proxy managers – including a paid one. It is open-source like Proxy SwitchyOmega and includes a lot of useful tools.
- Open-source
- Chrome, Firefox, and Edge support
- Offers IP and location check
- Can set up proxies for Incognito and containers
- Allows configuration import from multiple sources
- Pattern testing functionality
- No in-built proxies
- Dated looks
- Unclear differences between Basic and Standard options

5. Decodo (Smartproxy) Extension
Decodo is another proxy provider with its own proxies. While the extension itself is unremarkable outside of modern design, what’s attractive about it is the access to the free trial that comes with residential proxies rather than the more usual datacenter ones.
- Chrome and Firefox support
- Free trial with residential proxies
- Integrated support for purchasing and using Decodo proxies
- Not a lot of options

6. BP Proxy Switcher
A fairly basic proxy manager extension, it is actually maintained by a proxy provider (BuyProxies.org). You would never tell, as there is no way of buying their proxies through the extension. It’s very basic but also easy to use, has some interesting options and good browser support.
- Chrome, Firefox, and Edge support
- Proxy switch settings for wiping cache (passwords, WebSQL, etc.)
- Proxy autorotation
- User agent settings
- Proxy config via pasting into a text field or loading from a URL
