"Why Does My Browser Need to Be Launched with the Global Proxy? Any Workarounds?"

ugh, i feel you. it’s super annoying when the browser needs to be launched with the global proxy instead of just using the system settings.

i’ve been using a tool called Proxifier for Windows, and it’s been a lifesaver. it forces all your apps, including your browser, to use the proxy settings you define. no more manual setup every time!

if you’re on Mac, you could try something like Tunnelblick or Shadowsocks. they’re a bit more advanced but worth it if you’re tired of the hassle.
