So, no its not global. If you change the proxy in FF, it doesnt change in Chrome, or vice-versa.

1176549 2011-02-09 02:05:00 Aha!

Seems silly that something by Google (Chrome) would even associated with anything M$.

Perhaps 'Classes ABOUT Proxies" is more appropriate.

1176550 2011-02-09 02:19:00 I have no idea what youre talking about now SJ lol. And where this is coming from. Or how are you getting it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176551 2011-02-09 02:22:00 OK - you said that the Proxy setting for Chrome is in IE - and I'm good with that - but just wondered why something by Google would even use a setting from IE.

Is there some hanky-panky in the Chrome/M$ camp? And why are they even IN that same camp?

1176552 2011-02-09 02:27:00 Well I think Chrome uses IE's proxy settings (I'm pretty sure the last time I used Chrome it did). Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176553 2011-02-09 02:33:00 'Chrome uses IE's proxy settings' - YES for SURE or whatever IE is set to use. zqwerty (97)
1176554 2011-02-09 02:34:00 I'm on it now.

Don't totally UNDERSTAND it, but I will take it for what it's worth.

1176555 2011-02-09 02:49:00 There's more than one browser that uses IE's setting. The smaller sized browsers use it too. Thats probably why they're small Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176556 2011-02-09 02:53:00 FYI - I did what you said and went into IE and changed the Proxy to NONE of the above (lol) and Chrome now works - as does IE, about which I care very little. SurferJoe46 (51)
1176557 2011-02-09 02:57:00 It's a conspiracy. Chrome was not written from the ground up and inherits some settings from Windows or IE. Snorkbox (15764)
