How to Set Up and Use a Proxy in Chrome Browser? or Why Isn't My Proxy in Chrome Browser Working Prop

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Turns out Chrome doesn’t always play nice with system-wide proxy settings. Try using an extension like "Proxy SwitchyOmega"—it lets you manage proxy in chrome browser way easier.

Also, double-check your IP/port. Some proxies block certain sites, so that might explain the timeouts.
