# SwitchyOmega

SwitchyOmega is a powerful and reliable proxy manager that works with many popular browsers. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Disclaimer:** Switchy Omega is no longer supported on Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers as of release of Manifest V3. The following guide covers only the browser extension available for Mozilla Firefox.
{% endhint %}

Follow these steps to integrate Oxylabs [**Residential Proxies**](https://oxylabs.io/products/residential-proxy-pool):

**Step 1.** Get the plugin and install it. For Firefox add-on click [**here**](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchyomega/).

**Step 5.** Change **Protocol** to `HTTP`. Fill in the details:

**Server:** `pr.oxylabs.io`

**Port:**`7777`

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use random or sticky country-specific entries. For example, if you enter `us-pr.oxylabs.io` under **Server** and `10000` under **Port**, you’ll acquire a US exit node. If you enter `10001` under **Port**, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session. You can find a complete list of country-specific random proxy entry nodes [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#random-proxy-entry-nodes) and a list of sticky proxy entry nodes - [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#sticky-proxy-entry-nodes).
{% endhint %}

**Step 6.** Click the **lock** icon on the right. Fill in the details for **Proxy Authentication**:

**Proxy user** **username:** `customer-username`

**Proxy user password:** `password`

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you've added the `customer-` part before your username.
{% endhint %}

Click **Save changes.**

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have whitelisted your IP, you can skip this step.
