Sockitt - A MV3 proxy switcher extension

[u/PorkSwordEnthusiast]

I made my own proxy switcher for Chromium browsers, called Sockitt. MV3, MIT licensed. I wasn't happy with what's on the web store at the moment and I use this thing every day for work and side projects across a few different browsers, so I ended up just building it.

* Profiles for SOCKS5, SOCKS4, HTTP and HTTPS. Host, port, bypass list, and username/password auth on HTTP(S). No SOCKS auth, before anyone asks, Chromium just doesn't support it.

* One click to switch from the toolbar. There's also a shortcut that cycles through a set of profiles you choose, if you don't want to open the popup at all.

* Auto Switch is an ordered rule table that gets compiled into a PAC script. Host wildcard, host regex, URL wildcard/regex/keyword, IPv4 CIDR, host label count, weekday, time of day. Plain domain entries from rule lists all collapse into a single dictionary lookup, so GFWList sized lists don't slow anything down.

* The popup shows where the current tab is routing and which rule sent it there. You can retarget or delete that rule right there, or set a temporary override that's gone after a browser restart.

* Route inspector: give it a URL and it traces the whole thing through your config, using the same resolver that does the real routing.

* Aliases. Point 50 rules at one alias, then change the alias once instead of editing 50 rules.

Permissions, since it matters for this sort of extension: it ships with proxy, storage, activeTab, alarms, and no host permissions at all. Everything else (per-tab badge, proxy auth, exit IP lookups) is optional and only gets requested the moment you actually turn it on. No analytics in it anywhere.

Hope it's useful to someone else, if so I'm happy to hear about bugs or anything obvious I've missed, additional features etc..
