Quick fix: Clear Chrome’s cache before re-adding the proxy. Sounds dumb, but it’s saved me hours of rage.
Also, *Proxy Helper* extension lets you toggle proxies with one click. No system-wide mess!

Whoa, thanks for all the tips! 🙌 Tried *SwitchyOmega* and it’s way better than manual setup. Still getting timeouts though—maybe my proxy’s just slow?
Also, the `--proxy-server` flag worked but kinda clunky for daily use. Anyone know a way to make it stick without relaunching?
PS: *FoxyProxy* looks dope, gonna test that next. Y’all rock!
