Subverting browser trust by installing a mitm root is not a good way to implement network policy. Many have tried to do this, such as AV vendors, and it generally ends badly. Do I trust your TLS and certificate trust implementation over a mainline browsers? Do you understand the nuances of implementing webPKI for browsers?<p>I think asking the user to give up traffic authentication and confidentiality for a privacy features are best be implemented as a browser extension without this trade-off.

Seems to be dangerously encroaching on the namespace of Privoxy[1] which offers a somewhat overlapping solution.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.privoxy.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.privoxy.org&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m only somewhat versed in networking and proxies - how is this different from something like SquidGuard?

Really cool idea, will be watching for this to hit production readiness.
