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

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Turns out Chrome sometimes overrides manual proxy server settings if you have an extension messing with it.

Try disabling any VPN or proxy extensions first, then go to chrome://settings/system and adjust the proxy server settings chrome from there.

Also, check if your system proxy settings (Windows/Mac) are conflicting. Manual config is more reliable than extensions IMO.
