A few reasons:

1. Squid does a better job of caching than my browser. (Despite my large
browser cache, the Squid cache still reports HITs.)

2. I am comforable with ad-blocking via Squid (thanks, AdZapper!).

3. I can get interesting statistics by parsing my Squid access.log files.
No such info is available from my browser's cache.

Thanks for the response.
