[HTTPS-Everywhere] Non-Firefox browser support through proxies

First, thank you for the excellent work on HTTPS Everywhere!

There is a request on https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq for
ideas on how to support additional browsers. I believe that it might
be possible to support these browsers by implementing HTTPS Everywhere
as an extension to a local proxy server. Perhaps it would be possible
to extend Privoxy or another open source forward proxy with HTTPS
Everywhere, which would allow for support regardless of user agent.

This probably wouldn't be simple to do, as the UI would have to be
handled and may need significant coding, but perhaps the effort would
be worth it.

Sincerely,

Christopher
