Take a look at chrome.proxy.settings, you could call chrome.proxy.settings.get(object details, function callback) to get the chrome browser setting info, and the parameter for the callback is object details, you could check details.levelOfControl, its values is

enum of "not_controllable", "controlled_by_other_extensions", "controllable_by_this_extension", or "controlled_by_this_extension"

chrome.proxy.settings.get(function(details) {
    if(details.levelOfControl === 'controlled_by_other_extensions') {
        // 
    }
});
