If you set up a global proxy on your system, most browsers like Chrome and Firefox should pick it up automatically. You don’t *need* to launch the browser with the global proxy explicitly, but sometimes it depends on how the proxy is configured.
For Chrome, you can double-check in `Settings > System > Open proxy settings` to make sure it’s using the system proxy. Firefox has its own proxy settings under `Options > General > Network Settings`, so it might behave differently if you’ve tweaked those.
If you’re still unsure, tools like FoxyProxy (for Firefox) or Proxy SwitchyOmega (for Chrome) can help manage proxy settings more granularly. They’re super handy if you’re switching between proxies a lot.
