Can someone ELI5 what are proxy extensions? What are they supposed to do?

I use a HTTP/HTTPS proxy in Chrome (and Firefox) to work remotely and access internal things from my work network. The proxy I use has very nice features to allow "auto switching", meaning based on an regex I can use the proxy or go direct. The rules are ordered any way you want them.

The proxy we all use at work is SwitchyOmega. Been using it for years and it's fantastic.

FoxyProxy is another popular one with millions of users.
