This won't work for many reasons.

It can be made to work for the initial HTTP request by the use of
accelerator mode and a redirector helper, but your browser will receive
absolute URLs from the internet almost immediately and forgets about using
the proxy..

Why can't you configure the proxy settings in your browser?
