I never liked chrome because it required me to set a proxy via command line arguments or system wide. Never understood why they don’t give me an option like firefox within the settings to set a proxy, but at the same time chrome allowed *extensions* to set proxies.


The extension support is because Google relies on an extension to do a lot of their zero trust stuff https://cloud.google.com/beyondcorp though I don't think they use proxies anymore.
