Firefox consumes too much RAM, slows down my system too much... but yes,
it is nice. I found "switchproxy" to be a more useful addon to quickly
switch between the wwwoffle-online daemon and the wwwoffle-offline
daemon. All the browsers have the "dirty ram" bug, having to be
restarted constantly, the Camino browser consumes half the RAM, so has
to be restarted less often.
I tried to implement Andrews suggestion i.e. localhost:8080/http/URL in
code, but it caused some sort of socket overflow and some of the data
was missed. (a wait-state somewhere would fix?) Perhaps this is
particular to MacOS. I found that using an external request to the CURL
program allowed me to address my offline proxy localhost:8082, without
any overflow problems, the problem being that this is non-portable and
would work on my system only.
