Google did similar proxying for mobiles back in the day. If you used Google's mobile search you'd often end up on pages via a proxy. They still do it now, or used to for Windows Phone 8 devices last I checked. Which is odd, since there's nothing restrictive about IE10 on a phone. I wonder how Google's proxy would work in Mosaic or Lynx?
