How can I ensure my browser needs to be launched with a global proxy every time?

If you’re on macOS or Linux, you could write a simple shell script to launch your browser with the proxy settings. It’s a bit techy, but once it’s set up, it’s fire-and-forget.

For Chrome on macOS, you’d use something like:
`open -a "Google Chrome" --args --proxy-server="http://your-proxy-address:port"`

Save it as a script, and you’re golden.
