🔧 Default Proxy Monitoring Disabled
Summary
Proxy status monitoring is now disabled by default across all components. Users must explicitly enable "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" in the popup settings to activate background proxy checks and status indicators.

Why This Change
Privacy First: Eliminates unexpected background network requests for users who don't opt-in
Performance: Reduces default resource usage and potential overhead for new installations
User Control: Ensures users make an informed choice about enabling monitoring features

What Changed
✅ Default Value: proxyMonitoring setting now defaults to false when no saved preference exists
✅ UI Behavior: "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" checkbox appears unchecked by default
✅ Background Script: No monitoring intervals created unless explicitly enabled
✅ Content Script: Status dots and proxy-based styling disabled by default
✅ Storage Consistency: All storage read operations use false as fallback value

Files Modified
popup.js - Updated restore logic: result.proxyMonitoring !== undefined ? result.proxyMonitoring : false
content.js - Global variable initialization: let isMonitoringEnabled = false
content.js - Settings defaults object: proxyMonitoring: false
content.js - Background color logic: Added isMonitoringEnabled gate for proxy status colors
background.js - Monitoring start logic: Defaults to false when setting absent

User Impact
New Users: Checkbox unchecked, no background monitoring, standard floating bar colors
Existing Users: Saved preferences preserved - no behavior change for users with proxyMonitoring: true
Visual Changes: Floating bar uses user-selected background color instead of status-based colors when monitoring disabled

Release Notes Version 1.7.3

Disable proxy monitoring by default

Summary
Proxy status monitoring is now disabled by default. Users must explicitly enable the "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" option in the popup settings to start background proxy checks.

Why
- Avoid unexpected background network checks for users who do not opt in.
- Reduce default privacy surface and potential performance overhead for new installs.

What changed
- Default value for the proxyMonitoring setting is now false when the setting key is absent.
- UI: the "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" checkbox in the popup appears unchecked by default for fresh installs (no stored setting).
- Background: no monitoring intervals are started unless the user opts in.
- Content script: in-page monitoring / status-dot behavior that depends on monitoring is gated by this setting.

Files touched
- popup.js — restore/save logic uses result.proxyMonitoring !== undefined ? result.proxyMonitoring : false so checkbox defaults to unchecked.
- content.js — ensure any monitoring flag (e.g., isMonitoringEnabled) defaults to false and monitoring is gated.
- background.js — ensure startProxyMonitoring() reads the setting and defaults to false; do not create monitoring intervals when setting is absent/false.

User-visible behavior
- New users or users with no saved proxyMonitoring key: checkbox unchecked; no background proxy checks run.
- Existing users with proxyMonitoring: true remain unaffected unless they change the setting.

Suggested changelog entry
- "Default proxy monitoring disabled; users must opt-in to enable proxy status checks."

Automatic rollback based on version [1.2.1].
