Loved Opera back in the day. It had "page specific settings" that would let me allow to set HTTP/Socks5 proxies on a per-page setting - today you cannot even set a proxy anymore without changing your system settings (not browser settings).
If anyone asks, I used this heavily to bypass country blocks/redirects on a per-page level and also with privoxy on some privacy invading sites.

- pantulis 5y ago> you can in firefox settings Obviously a remnant from the Netscape codebase. They will fix it.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agofoxyproxy does this. i set up a ssh passthrough and routed foxyproxy with only specifed pages to use local proxy which meant they would be routed through the ssh. it worked for what i wanted

- mobilio 5y agoI still miss Opera 12.16...
- gsich 5y agoFirefox has proxy settings. Socks5 is bugged though. Doesn't support user/password authentication.
- nnwright 5y agoAnd don't forget the ability to run a web server from within the browser. Opera was sometimes buggy, but it was really the first "browser as an operating system".
- Siira 5y agoYou can do some basic routing using the domain name or the IP via an advanced proxy, such as v2ray. Shadowrocket on iOS also supports this.
