An option for selecting Default proxy instead of ...

Hi
It's better that we can select the default proxy server as an option instead of define a default server in the proxy list.
Selecting default method between available proxy server and "no proxy" and "system proxy" for times that no pattern matched.

Hello,

I am not sure I completely understand you - can you give an example when/why that might be useful?

Thanks for the answer

I said: Why there is a default proxy server (The blue one)?
It's better that we could select default proxy server between our current proxies.
You can put an option in "global settings" tab, for selecting one of the proxies to be used when no pattern are defined (matched).
And also being able to select "No proxy" or "System proxy" (same in firefox proxy settings), beside other proxies, for no pattern mode.

#Our proxy list become more reclusive!

I am glad you understand,

I am glad you understand, but I do not :)

Default is a "catch all". If no whitelist patterns match, the URL is loaded through whatever you specify in Default.

If I add "System Proxy Settings" as an option in the Default Proxy, is that sufficient? So you'd be able to choose between "No Proxy", "System Proxy Settings", PAC, or ip address/port of proxy server.

It seems that he asked for

It seems that he asked for an option to make ANY defined proxy to be 'default' rather than change 'Default' proxy details in the list. A simple check-box 'Use this proxy as default' would probably solve this.

Exactly

Yes, and if nothing checked, use "No proxy" instead (Direct connection to internet).
