About Web Browsers Summary

FoxyProxy is a Firefox add-on which lets you take control of the browser's proxy switching settings. Configurable rules allow you to specify which proxy servers are utilized based on the URL that is being loaded. Even the most novice user can easily define several URL patterns, allowing total dominion over certain sites loading via specific proxies.

FoxyProxy can be extremely useful when surfing the Web in a filtered environment such as school or the workplace, as well as in countries which censor URL access. Animated notifiers inform you whenever a proxy is in use, and advanced logging features detail when and how each website is accessed.
