⚙️ Permissions Explained:
We use only 3 minimal permissions for maximum transparency:
• "proxy" - Required to modify your browser's proxy settings
• "activeTab" - Used to detect the current tab's domain for easy exception setup
• "storage" - Saves your configuration locally on your device

🎯 Smart Priority System:
1. Domain exceptions take highest priority
2. Configured proxy servers override PAC script proxies
3. PAC script rules applied when no proxy servers configured
4. Direct connection as fallback

🌐 Enterprise Ready:
• Bulk import exception domains from text lists
• Support for complex PAC script logic
• Multiple proxy server configurations
• Wildcard domain matching for easy exception management

🔧 Advanced Features:
• Live PAC script reloading from URLs

• Real-time configuration updates

Why Choose PAC Proxy Manager?
Unlike other proxy extensions that are closed-source black boxes, we're completely transparent. Every line of code is available on GitHub. Our minimal permission model means we don't know what websites you access - PAC scripts execute in a controlled, encapsulated environment managed by Chrome itself.

Other proxy managers often require broad permissions like "read all websites" or "modify all data." We only ask for exactly what we need and nothing more.

🆓 Always Free:
This extension will always remain free and open source. No premium features, no subscriptions, no hidden costs. However, if you find it useful and want to support development, coffee donations are greatly appreciated!
