How Do I Configure Proxy Server Settings in Chrome for Better Privacy? or What’s the Best Way to Set

Bro, same issue here. Chrome’s proxy settings are just a shortcut to Windows, which is annoying af.

If you want a workaround, try Proxy SwitchyOmega (Chrome extension). Lets you manage proxies without digging into system settings.

For paid proxies, IPVanish or Private Internet Access are solid. Free ones? Maybe Psiphon for light use, but don’t expect miracles.
