This addon supports PAC proxy as well. Moreover you can white-list any domain or website through toolbar popup UI. In order to white-list a domain, please add the desired domain to the bypass area in toolbar popup. For example, to white-list - https://www.foobar.com - please add - *foobar.com - to the filed. Please note that all the entries should be comma separated. Once you filled the bypass area, please mark the related checkbox as well (the checkbox next to the Bypass category).
In order to set PAC proxy, please add a PAC URL to the designated area (PATH input area). Please note that a PAC path should have a certain format. For example if your PAC file is located in - C:// - folder (on windows machine), please write - file:///C:/pac.data - in the PATH area.

Reviews of proxy switcher:
Unfortunately in recent versions of chrome it is for some reason loosing the settings, so each time you would like to switch (for example from Direct to PAC) you have to write the configuration again, which in case of filling the URL to PAC script is pretty annoying.
does exactly what it's clear UI supposed to be doing! would be 5* if you could disable annoying desktop notifications from it's own settings.
Very useful tool for quick proxy switching.
