Thanks for all the tips, folks! Disabling hardware acceleration + reinstalling SwitchyOmega did the trick for now.
Still kinda buggy though—might check out FoxyProxy if it gets worse. Appreciate the help!

OP here—update: switched to Firefox + SwitchyOmega, and it’s flawless. Chrome’s just too unstable with proxies now.
Anyone else make the jump? Curious if it’s just me or a bigger trend.

OP again—tried FoxyProxy based on recs here. It’s decent, but miss SwitchyOmega’s granular control.
Might just wait for an update. Thanks for all the suggestions, y’all!

For seamless switching, set up SwitchyOmega profiles for each use case (e.g., "Netflix UK", "Work VPN").
Then, use quick-switch shortcuts—saves so much time. Found a YouTube vid that walks through it step-by-step if you’re stuck.

SwitchyOmega’s still my ride-or-die, but Chrome’s updates are killing me.
For alternatives, "SmartProxy" looks promising, but it’s paid. Free users might be stuck troubleshooting for now.

If SwitchyOmega’s crashing, check your Chrome flags. Disabling "Experimental Extension APIs" fixed it for me.
No idea why, but hey, it works. Chrome’s just a mess these days.
