    • Add manual http proxy support (i.e. without the need for using the system wide macOS proxy setting)

      First, thank you for this amazing and exciting initiative of creating a new web browser. The industry really need more competitive in this space and I am really enjoying my first day of using Orion 🙂

      Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked around in the Orion settings and could not find any way to manually configure a http proxy. I assume Orion is only using the native macOS proxy setting?

      As a user of the Orion browser I would like to be able to manually configure a http proxy in the browser instead of depending on the system wide macOS proxy setting.

      As a user I sometimes need to turn different proxy on and off depending on which resources I am are trying to reach. By forcing the use of a proxy in the macos settings instead of in the browser makes this less user friendly and cumbersome.

      In the firefox browser, where this is supported, I am making heavy use of the FoxyProxy plugin which makes this really easy.

      Are there any plans to add support for manually setting a http proxy in Orion?

      Expectations of this setting would be the possibility to set

      • http proxy
      • https proxy
      • socks host (v4, v5)
      • An exempt list that do not use the proxy fillable with hostnames and IP's.
