Does the browser need to be launched with the global proxy to work properly?

Hey! So, if you’ve set up a global proxy, the browser should just use it automatically. You don’t need to launch the browser with the global proxy separately. Chrome usually follows the system proxy, but Firefox can override it if you’ve messed with its settings.

If you’re still having trouble, maybe try a VPN with proxy support like NordVPN or Surfshark. They make it super easy to route traffic through proxies without all the manual setup.
