Extension Metadata

About this extension
Detour is a simple, intuitive proxy switcher. Flip a proxy on or off straight from the toolbar — no digging through system settings.

Features
- One-click on/off from the toolbar popup, with a status badge on the icon
- HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies
- Authentication (username/password), including authenticated SOCKS on Firefox
- A "Test connection" button that verifies your proxy and shows the exit IP
- No data collection — your settings stay on your device and nothing is sent to the developer

When you turn it off, Detour releases control and the browser falls back to its normal connection.
