Yo, no dumb questions here! what are http proxies? Basically, they’re like a mask for your internet traffic. You connect to the proxy, and it makes requests for you.
They’re handy for privacy (kinda), scraping data, or accessing stuff blocked in your country. But some are sketchy, so stick to trusted ones like Oxylabs or Smartproxy.
And yep, speed can take a hit if the proxy’s overloaded or far away.
