Feature request: Proxy options are not system proxy options
-
Sometimes I just want to set the proxy for the web browser not the entire of windows.

Hi,
as Chromium so Vivaldi has no its own proxy server settings (which is sad for this kind of basic network option IMHO). But you can use extension Proxy SwitchySharp. It has even dynamic rules based on visiting page.
I personally use custom PAC file to work for most of applications, but that is advanced and more complicated way for common user, I guess.

Proxy sharp is pretty handy, and does its job very well.

You can just configure one or more proxy, then select them pushing the extension icon. You can even select a custom color for each proxy

Sure I know about these features, they're great. But I have need to use different proxy server based on custom rules for all of my applications, not just browser. This way it was easier to maintain.

With recent government idiocies, I have a bigger need for browser proxy, but I do not want to break my entire system with global system proxy just because I want to browse some web pages…
Not every program that claims to be "using system proxy", actually uses WinHTTP, many just pick proxy settings and try to use them in some arcane fashion.
