  The Ultimate Flexible Proxy Extension
  
  Easily configure proxies using HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 protocols. Powerful Auto-Switch mode puts you in full control of your traffic routing.
  
  Choose exactly how traffic is handled:
  
  - Route all internet traffic through the proxy (include wildcard *)
  - Proxy everything except specific websites you define (exclude mode)
  - Use the proxy only for designated target domains (include list)
  - Match CIDR ranges while excluding specific IPs or subnets
  
  The extension intelligently generates and manages the required PAC script behind the scenes based on your rules.
  
  Key Features:
  
  - Auto-Save: Your configuration is always preserved automatically
  - Instant Reload: Changes take effect immediately when saving or switching modes
  - Hotkey Mode Switching: Switch proxy modes instantly with a customizable keyboard shortcut
  - Dark Mode UI: Clean, comfortable interface designed for extended use
  - Flexible Rule Matching: Include/exclude domains (with wildcards), IPs, and CIDR ranges
  - Privacy Focused: All settings are stored locally. DNS lookups (used for CIDR/IP icon status) use Cloudflare as primary and Quad9 as fallback — both known for strong privacy policies
  - Configurable Tab Reload: Choose whether tabs reload automatically when switching modes
  
  Coming Soon:
  
  - Option to set your preferred primary DNS resolver
  - Network recognition: automatically enable/disable Auto-Switch based on your current network
  - Profile support: save different rule sets for different networks/SSIDs (planned after network recognition)

  Adaptive Proxy Switcher
  The flexible, rule‑driven proxy extension for power users and admins.
  
  Configure HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies and control routing with precise, readable rules. Auto‑Switch lets you adapt your proxy behavior to specific domains, IPs, and networks—without manual toggling.
  
  Rule‑based traffic control
  
  - Define include rules (domains, wildcards, IPs, CIDR ranges)
  - Add exception rules to bypass specific hosts or subnets
  - Use wildcards like *.example.com or * for broad matching
  - Combine CIDR rules with precise IP exclusions
  
  The extension automatically generates and applies the required PAC script behind the scenes based on your rules.
  
  Key Features
  
  - Auto‑Save: settings are saved instantly
  - Instant Apply: changes take effect right away
  - Adaptive Auto‑Switch: switch profiles based on network conditions (gateway/subnet)
  - Profile Management: keep multiple proxy setups and rule sets
  - Flexible Rule Matching: domains (wildcards), IPs, CIDR ranges
  - Configurable DNS: primary and fallback resolvers for rule status lookups
  - Dark UI: clean, readable interface for daily use
  - Local‑Only Storage: settings are stored locally in the browser
