    🆕 What's New in v1.6.1
  
    • Direct mode now has a distinct green toolbar icon so it's visually separable from System mode at a glance
    • Popup empty state is cleaner — the redundant header "+" is hidden when no profiles exist; the big "Add your first profile" button is now the single obvious call-to-action
    • Active-mode signaling reduced from 4 simultaneous indicators to 2 for less visual noise
    • New keyboard navigation in the Add / Edit profile modal (Escape closes, Tab wraps, focus is restored to the opening button on close)

    📝 Permissions Explained
  
    X-Proxy requires minimal permissions to function:
    • proxy: To configure browser proxy settings
    • storage: To save your proxy profiles locally
    • webRequest: To intercept proxy authentication challenges (HTTP 407) and provide credentials automatically
    • webRequestAuthProvider: To respond to proxy server authentication requests using the username / password saved in your proxy profile
    • host_permissions (<all_urls>): Required by webRequest to handle proxy auth challenges on any URL, since proxy authentication can occur on any web request
  
    All permissions are used solely for core functionality. No personal data is collected or transmitted. The webRequest and webRequestAuthProvider permissions are used exclusively for proxy authentication — the extension
     does not read, modify, or log any web request content.
  
    🔒 Privacy Justification for webRequest & webRequestAuthProvider
  
    Why webRequest is needed: X-Proxy uses `chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired` to detect when a proxy server requests authentication (HTTP 407 response). Without this permission, users with password-protected proxies would
     see repeated authentication popups from Chrome.
  
    Why webRequestAuthProvider is needed: This permission allows the extension to programmatically supply proxy credentials (username and password) that the user has configured in their proxy profile. The extension only
    responds to proxy authentication challenges (`details.isProxy === true`) and ignores all other authentication requests.
  
    What data is accessed: Only the proxy authentication challenge event. The extension does not read, modify, redirect, or block any web request content. Credentials are stored locally via `chrome.storage.local` and are
    never transmitted to any external server.
  
    🆘 Support
  
    • GitHub Issues for bug reports and feature requests
    • Comprehensive documentation included
    • Regular updates and maintenance
