I just test the alpha version, and basically it not working at all:

1. After i download the zip file , I need to unzipped it to install, can't select the zip file and install directly
2. When I restore my setting, proxy rules is not restored, either with full backup or proxy rule only backup
3. Smart proxy or Always enable does not actually proxy-ed something🤣

@ameaninglessname I appreciate your time for testing. Unzip step is added to the topic. Yes, I've mentioned that backup and restore are not working properly. Proxies are not being applied because perhaps you did a backup restore? Try fresh without restoring, that might be the reason that settings are messed up after a incomplete restore.

I've added your report to the topic, thanks.

Ah,, sorry I was too eager to test and did not finish reading the "Upcoming Features" section🤣, will test it again as you suggested.

[ameaninglessname]

Tested it again, "proxy" still not working and with some wired behavior:

1. After a installed it from about:debugging, it also appeared in add-ons manager (seems normal)
2. I did not do a restore operation but the proxy server is still there (seems like there are some caches not been cleaned up, which makes me unable to do a proper testing)
3. But after I restarted firefox, the (original) SmartPorxy addon shows up in the enabled section of add-ons manager but labled with "Disabled" (seems like a bug of firefox)

[ameaninglessname]

about Theme support

"auto switch" is working properly. "light theme" is not working, consider there is only one preset, "not working" only means I can't switch to light theme when the browser is in dark theme. And the default dark theme is used here, despite the extension dark theme i choose. "dark theme" is working properly.

[salarcode]

@ameaninglessname thanks a lot for testing. Recorded the issues.

Version alpha 2 is out with these changes:

1. • [x] Seamless migration from v0.9.x
2. • [x] Back-up/Retore
3. • [x] Factory Reset option

[ameaninglessname]

It seems like I am experiencing some page loading forever (very long time) occasionally with this plugin enabled ever since i installed alpha version🤣

It seems some configurations have not been properly cleared or reverted.

Yeah, i installed a bunch of other plugins, but when I disabled SmartProxy, the page that is stuck at loading before could be correctly loaded in a flash now. But not very sure about this.

Any way to help debug this?

BTW, i installed alpha 2 without needing to do backup / restore which is convenient👍, thanks as usual.

A gorgeous extension, regretted didn't meet her earlier

I have a few suggestions for proxy-per-tab

1. Allows non-global settings. We can set whether to activate this feature for each URL individually in the rules

2. Make the behavior of whitelisted and matched consistent. When a URL is set to not use proxy, the whole tab will not use proxy, just like when proxy is enabled

3. Allow exceptions. URLs have three states, matched or whitelisted or no rules. proxy-per-tab is only applied to URLs without rules, so that we can set exceptions by rules

   And, temporary rules or rule usage counts. Some sites may only be used once, but their rules will keep piling up in the settings

Feedback a possible bug proxy-per-tab sometimes misses some URLs, maybe because of switching to another URL in the same tab

If I have free time I'm trying to finish it by end of this year

Will test this one for sure, thanks.

In the current, stable version, I was hoping to have a catch-all rule that goes to my default proxy and more specific rules for certain sites that go to other proxies. Is this possible in the alpha?

It can be possible with Always Enable profile with a change. In there the default behaviour is to apply default proxy and then you can define rules which themselves can have different proxy server. So this is not possible at the moment but I might be able to make it work.

That'd be very much appreciated, thank you.

I can't read Chinese, what does it say? Did you have a clean installation? Maybe try again with Factory Reset option

[salarcode]

Can you support the clash format? switchomega format is dead.

https://github.com/Loyalsoldier/clash-rules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Loyalsoldier/clash-rules/release/proxy.txt

Please create a separate issue thread, based on upvotes and requests I might add it.

[salarcode]

clash is the only one alive project, all the others are dead

You still need to create an issue here to track it, and you can get people to upvote it

It hasn't reproduced yet, but I found another problem.

When two agents are added, the default agent selects the first one, and when editing the information of the first agent, the default agent switches back to the secend one

[God-damnit-all]

Through no fault of SmartProxy, I've been having frequent HSTS errors when using my SSL (w/ auth) proxy on Firefox. I had the same issue with both FoxyProxy and SwitchyOmega.

I've been working around it by using gost to tunnel it into a no auth local HTTP proxy, and when using that localhost proxy with the extension, the HSTS errors go away.

Would you be interested in looking into whether it's possible for SmartProxy to resolve these sorts of errors on its own? If so, could you post your email so I can give you the details to use my proxy for testing?

[salarcode]

You can contact me with the same email as mentioned in the source files, lets see what is the root of these issues. Possibly related #216

Here is the screen recording, when editing the proxy information, the default proxy is also changed
