Developed from Google’s Chromium project, the Chrome browser is one of the most adaptable browsers working on all major platforms including Mac OS, Windows, Android, Linux, and Google’s own Chrome OS.

Setting Up a Proxy in Your Google Chrome Browser

1. Open Google Chrome

2. Click on the three dots on the top right-hand corner of your browser window -> Settings -> Advanced -> Open your computer proxy settings

3. Chrome doesn’t have in-app proxy server settings, you’ll be redirected to your operating system’s native proxy settings. This proxy will we used by the whole system, not just the browser.

4. Edit the URL in the address section (enter the IP or hostname of the proxy)

5. Add/change the port number of your proxy

You can disable the proxy server in the same way simply by unchecking the box next to “Use a proxy server”.

Proxy authentication using login and password

If you are using a username and password proxy authorization such as our rotating residential proxies, the window with the login and password will be immediately prompted as soon as you try to access any website on the Internet.

In case you find this setup a little bit tricky you can only install a chrome extension or use a different software.

The easiest way to use our proxies is with the FoxyProxy extension . You can check out a short tutorial about this here: https://hydraproxy.com/how-to-use-foxyproxy/

Also, if you want to emulate other browsers and better mask your connection, you can use HydraHeaders: https://hydraproxy.com/how-to-use-hydraheaders/
