Is Proxy Switcher and Manager safe?
Proxy SwitchyOmega Pro looks up the user's IP address through ip-api.com on every matched page.
When a matched page loads, the extension's content script asks its background worker to fetch IP information from ip-api.com. The returned IP address is displayed in a fixed page element, meaning the IP lookup service receives the browser's network address during those page loads.
