## What it is
SwitchyOmega is a browser extension for Chromium and Firefox that lets users manage and quickly switch between multiple proxy profiles, including PAC script generation. It was one of the most popular proxy management extensions but is no longer maintained after Chrome disabled Manifest V2 extensions.

## Use cases
- switch between multiple proxy servers in the browser
- route specific websites through different proxies
- generate and use PAC scripts for automatic proxy selection
- bypass geo-restrictions or censorship per-site
- manage proxy profiles with auto-switch rules

## When to choose
- you use Firefox and need a mature proxy-switching extension
- you need fine-grained per-site proxy rules and PAC profiles
- you are on an older Chromium browser that still supports Manifest V2

## When to avoid
- you use modern Chrome, which has disabled this Manifest V2 extension
- you need an actively maintained tool with bug fixes and MV3 support
- you want long-term support - the project is officially unmaintained

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: proxy, networking, browser-extension
- domain: privacy, browser-extensions, censorship-circumvention, networking
- platform: browser, browser-extension
- tags: proxy-switcher, pac-scripts, manifest-v2, chrome-extension, firefox-addon, unmaintained
