I personally prefer to import browser history, but some people have requested a proxy.

Not sure if I want to do this yet because it's really intrusive. You essentially have to MITM yourself on a bunch of SSL traffic, and doing it properly likely involves installing a root CA or some other nastiness.

I've decided I'm not going to do this due to SSL stripping concerns. I think the proper avenue is via Browser extension, not MITM proxy.
