Use AutoProxy gfwList PAC under Chrome + Switchy

As mentioned in last post, though I'm not going to port AutoProxy to Google Chrome, some achievements of AutoProxy such as gfwList can be reused by other projects.

I'd like to introduce how to use AutoProxy gfwList PAC under Chrome + Switchy. This introduction is for Windows XP users, Windows Vista & Windows 7 should be more or less the same. It seems Switchy doesn't work properly for non-Windows systems.

1. I suppose you have installed the latest Chrome beta and Switchy.

AutoProxy will stick to Firefox

Many users asked me to port AutoProxy to Google Chrome, I really appreciate that you like AutoProxy. However, I apologize, AutoProxy will stick to Firefox (at least in recent months).

Here is why:

Partly because Chrome is not prepared:

  • Chrome doesn't have proxy policy of it's own, lack of fundamental function, thus it's hard or even impossible to implement some features AutoProxy did & will do for Firefox.
