I would appreciate an option to configure proxy for proxy networks you have to think big

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I will see what I can do but this feature seems pretty advance. I mean it's not a feature proposed by chrome if I'm not mistaken. And by firefox focus neither. Moreover, dedicated proxy apps already exist on the store. But I didn't think to add this feature sooner to the app is because it's already possible to use proxy via Android settings. So no need to have this settings on the browser as the all connection of the Android device will use the proxy defined in settings. Here some links:

I'm maybe missing something, so if you have an example of an other web browser doing that, it will be great. And it will be great understand the benefit of a proxy in the app instead of the proxy parameter proposed by the OS.

Thks again for using G-Browser.

If that part I understand but you have to think about the less advanced users, for security there are networks that do not give you that information, and with your project you would compile the proxy within the same app without the need for the user to know which proxy he is using.

AH, I understand why you are talking about proxy. I just saw your browser and the feature Orbot Proxy support and I2P support. I will see. Thks
