Hey! So, the browser needs to be launched with the global proxy only if you’re using a specific proxy tool or extension that requires it. Otherwise, if you’ve set up a global proxy at the system level, most modern browsers will automatically use it.
But yeah, some apps might ignore the global proxy if they have their own network settings. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, honestly.
If you’re testing proxies, I’d recommend using a tool like ProxyCap or Charles Proxy to monitor traffic and see what’s actually going through the proxy. It’ll save you a ton of headaches!
