Comment on Ask HN: Why does Chrome use IE's proxy settings?

Comments

Pretty sure that's a best practice for Windows software.

IE's proxy settings are synonymous with Windows system-wide proxy settings.

True, they could have provided a setting that you can enable/disable/override within their options page instead of using a switch. May be there is design decision behind this.
