IPV6 Native now - the end of Proxo?

RE: IPV6 Native now - the end of Proxo?
I'm not eager to add another proxy. Years ago, I tried that and it slowed my browsing to a crawl. Polipo uses a web cache. I have the cache ...ALL FORMS OF CACHE disabled in all my browsers (except IE where I can't but put disk cache as low as possible) since I got broadband in 2001. Now I have 200/20 speed so there is no need for a web cache. Polipo does say it is fine with IPv6.

As for ProxHTTPSProxyMII, I read about 3 or 4 pages of the thread here on it awhile back and never got back here to read the remaining posts (interesting but slow reading). That looks great if you want Proxo to do HTTPS but I have never allowed it to do HTTPS and I'm not eager to start now. I am very opposed to all these sites saying they need to be HTTPS. So, I am of mixed feelings on this one. If most websites decide to go HTTPS ONLY then I would have to install this if I want to continue using Proxo but that is not the case yet. By the time that stupid point is reached my current computer will need replacing and I am not about to get a Windows 10 computer unless Microsoft does what it looks like they never will do....allow Windows 10 Pro users (as well as Enterprise users) to have full control of their computers i.e. no forced Windows updates.

My 8.0 Pro computer goes unsupported in January but I will not be upgrading to 8.1 Pro then to continue Microsoft patch support because Microsoft has been installing crap on all Windows 7 and 8.1 computers sneakily without permission from the users. They have left 8.0 alone probably because so few are still on it. Anyhow, my computer is 3 years old so I figure another 2 years (climate here is hard on computers) and then I will need a new one or I will need to just leave the internet. Probably IPv6 will not be that pervasive for another couple of years so I probably can just stay on IPv4 if I decide to do that. I'll try to find the time to read the rest of the ProxHTTPSProxyMII thread and maybe after reading all of the thread I'll decide to try it but wouldn't the IPv6 support be only on HTTPS pages? Almost all my browsing is on NON HTTPS.
