Web browser users can normally enable or disable web proxy servers in their browsers. There is usually no way to configure a different web proxy server based on the visited website or an option to switch between web proxy use and no proxy use easily. Auto Proxy is a new experimental Firefox add-on that tries to make proxy server usage in the Firefox web browser easier. The add-on provides access to several preconfigured web proxy servers that can be selected in the add-on’s options. It furthermore provides the means to configure websites that should be accessed using the configured web proxy servers.
This has the advantage to be able to exactly configure websites that should be accessed with proxies enabled. Switching proxy servers on and off is therefor a thing of the past after the initial configuration has been completed. Users can subscribe to a preconfigured list of websites that should be accessed using a web proxy server and add their own websites in the list. It is currently not possible to assign web proxy servers to specific sites but this is mentioned as a feature to come on the developer’s homepage.
It is currently only possible to add websites to the Firefox add-on and select either a preconfigured web proxy server or add a custom proxy that should be used to access those websites.
The preconfiogured web proxy servers have not been working 100% perfectly at the time of testing. The prospect is however excellent. Definitely a Firefox add-on to look out for.

New online proxy.
Hmmm… I’m happy with FoxyProxy. It doesn’t offer any web proxy list or subscriptions, but now I don’t need them.
If one just need some “auto” (but not the web) proxy – for example, some additional web-filter like the Privoxy, or additional cache like HandyCache (but have some exclusions for it), I would recommend to use the FoxyProxy.
Default proxy, Direct access without proxy, Template-based proxies, Tor system integration – that’s enough for me.
Its called Tor+Privoxy. Its thee most secure proxy network I’ve ever seen. Also Tor+Squid is pretty good if your whiling to risk a little security for a good speed boost. I also believe you can use Tor, Squid and Privoxy at the same time, I just go with tor+privoxy and im good.
