Time of transparent proxy is long gone. Especially with dual stack
transparent proxy makes things a lot worse. There are quite a few sites

ipv6. With transparent proxy in place browsers can't fail back to to
ipv4 rendering all these sites unavailable.


I have not noticed any issues yet. I've debated on ditching squid years ago as everything was moving to https only. Squid can apparently break through https now though, but I have not looked into it.

My biggest issue is I've been stuck on ATT dsl 6mbit internet for years now. Thankfully I managed to get upgraded to 10mbit just a couple of months ago but I doubt I'll ever get higher than that for many years. So every bit of data that is fetched locally is a nice thing. I miss the days when maps.google.com was http only. I used to cache all the images to squid and that page would totally fly.
