Sick of Digging Through Chrome's Proxy Settings? We Built an Extension for That
A powerful Manifest V3 Chrome proxy extension. Connect to the official Bifrost proxy or a custom HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy in one click.
Switching proxies in Chrome usually means digging through OS network settings and retyping credentials every time. If you’ve ever had to do this mid-scrape, mid-testing session, or just to jump onto a work VPN, you know how much friction that adds to a workflow that should take one click.
We just published Bifrost Proxy Manager to the Chrome Web Store — a Manifest V3 extension that puts your entire proxy workflow into a single popup: pick a mode, and you’re connected. No system dialogs, no manual authentication, no guessing whether it actually worked.
What It’s For
- Connect to the official Bifrost proxy network with your account token, or configure your own HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy — either way, switching modes takes one click.
- Save multiple custom proxy profiles (home server, work VPN, personal SOCKS5 node, etc.) and jump between them instantly instead of re-entering host/port/credentials each time.
- Never get interrupted by a proxy login popup — the extension automatically supplies your saved username and password via Chrome’s authentication API.
- Confirm your connection is actually working with a built-in exit IP and geolocation check, right in the popup.
- Keep local and internal addresses on a direct connection with a customizable bypass list, so switching proxies never breaks access to localhost or your LAN.
Works With Your Existing Bifrost Setup
If you’re already using BifrostNetwork’s gateway for scraping or automation (see our docs for the endpoint syntax), the extension is a companion, not a replacement — it’s built for browser-based sessions where you want a quick visual toggle instead of hardcoding proxy strings into a script.
Paste your account token from the dashboard, and the popup handles the rest: fetching your active plan, available regions, and gateway credentials automatically. You don’t need a Bifrost account at all to use the extension, though — point it at any HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy you already run, and it works exactly the same way.
Why It’s Worth Trusting
- Built on Manifest V3, Chrome’s current extension platform, using a background service worker instead of a persistent background page.
- All credentials and settings are stored locally in Chrome’s storage — nothing is synced to a third-party server except the requests you explicitly make to your chosen proxy or the Bifrost API.
- Available in English, 中文, and Русский — switch the interface language anytime from the popup or settings page.
Who It’s For
Anyone who regularly switches network exit points — remote workers connecting through a company proxy, developers testing region-specific behavior, or anyone running their own SOCKS5/HTTP proxy — will get a faster, less error-prone workflow than Chrome’s native proxy settings offer.
