@Phistuck: "Do you really have to configure your proxy (if any) in every single browser specifically?" Of course this must be done individually. Separate browsers are separate applications and they should not have any interactions nor dependencies between them.
@Dremation: "A simple global registry entry would do the trick." This would not be a good idea for the same reason: separate browsers/ applications should not have any interations nor dependencies between them. Besides, which program is going to determine exactly what registry key name to use and how to store the values? End users certainly cannot be expected to do it. Do you expect the major browser makers (Opera, Google, Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft) will actually come to an agreement on registry key name and value format? That'll be the day!
