Insights, product updates, and practical proxy extension guides.
Manifest V3 is a major upgrade to Chrome's extension spec with deep impact on proxy extensions. This post explains MV3's key changes (Service Worker, declarativeNetRequest, permission model) and how Vinea implements smart routing via chrome.proxy.settings under MV3.
Smart routing is Vinea's mechanism for automatically deciding whether browser traffic goes through the proxy or connects directly, based on the destination domain. It includes a built-in bypass list of 350+ domestic domains and supports custom rules.
Vinea is built on Chrome's Manifest V3 with minimal permissions. It does not read page content, does not log visited domains, and stores domain rules locally only. This article explains what permissions Vinea requests and how your data is handled.
Compare browser proxy extensions and traditional VPNs across traffic scope, use cases, and performance impact to find the right fit for your workflow.
Learn how to use Vinea's Domain Rules to add custom proxy or direct rules for any website — right from your browser's context menu.
