Howto use G_F_W list in Proxy Switchy

There is a very useful addon for firefox called Autoproxy for bypassing G_F_W. It can use an online rule list to automatically enable proxy for blocked sites while disable proxy for speed for unblocked sites, which is quite handy. Unfortunately, there isn't a port for google chrome. As chrome in certain aspects has some advantages over firefox, and I occationally use it, it would be very nice to have something for chrome equivalent to Autoproxy for firefox.

Fortunately, chrome also has an extension called Proxy Switchy. Better, Switchy can use Autoproxy's rule list, which means it can also automatically enable proxy for blocked sites.

However, Switchy doesn't support window managers apart from Gnome/KDE. To workaround this, one must start chrome with the following environment variable set:

GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default google-chrome

The URL of the rule list is : http://autoproxy-gfwlist.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gfwlist.txt

Have fun!
