Foxy Proxy: How to Browse Safer and Smarter
Foxy Proxy is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that makes switching between proxy servers fast and simple. Instead of digging through browser settings, Foxy Proxy lets you manage your proxies with just a few clicks.
Why Use Foxy Proxy?
Here are a few reasons why Foxy Proxy is popular among web users:
- Privacy: Hide your real IP address and browse more anonymously.
- Access Control: Reach websites that are blocked in your region.
- Web Scraping: Useful for rotating proxies during scraping tasks.
- Speed: Easily toggle between proxies without manual configuration.

That’s it! You’re now browsing through the proxy of your choice.
Advanced Features
