Possible with Chrome. Impossible with other current popular browsers, I think. Potentially risky regardless.

You need a current Proxomitron certificate. http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1479

You need to add the Proxomitron's certificate to the Browser's store.

You may need a new "certs.pem". http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1713

And then, you may still get warnings from the Proxomitron about 'valid' certificates that it does not recognize. These may be avoided by hiding "certs.pem" from the Proxomitron. And then, you will have no warning that something bad may be happening.

Typically, I use a Chrome variant with the following command line switches:

--ignore-certificate-errors --disable-geolocation --disable-localstorage --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari

Filtering HTTPS with Half-SSL enabled. I do not bookmark https addresses or use them in the address bar.

At GMail, I saw standard view without ads but with the Proxomitron's security warnings about 'valid' certificates that it did not recognize. I avoid these warnings by avoiding GMail.
