So what will happen to the proxy setting in the setting page? #24

I was thinking about this but Chrome has this feature already... In the settings page "Open your computer's proxy settings" so why do we need one more proxy option?

further more will users have an option to use other servers than "google servers"? Will APIs be available to manage this from a plugin should someone want to offer a custom server?

Existing proxy configurations will remain supported. Users will be able to configure their own custom proxies as before.

So this is a redundant project proposition? The functionality already exists what does adding this one offer different than the existing one? Could Google not simply set up a proxy infra and have a button on the proxy page that says "use Google proxy"? This would make less work for Google. (opt-in only) This feature would have a greater acceptance rate among the community.

I fail to see why a whole feature new feature is needed in the browser for something that's existing. If people need this service they already know how to use it. Would energy not be better spent making a few YouTube videos explaining why you would want to use a proxy in general and explaining the pros and cons?

unless I'm missing something please let me know but it sounds like you're looking for a reason to use your RFC for proxies over HTTP. If this is the case why not add the feature on the page like everything else and allow users to opt-in?
