My goal for Cobalt was to make a proxy site this was very simple and easy to use, with only a side panel insted of pages, which you could access on any site. Along with having it be simple and easy to use, I also wanted it to have many configuration options and an extension system where the community could build amazing tools to help you better use the web.
I will continue to work on Cobalt, and hopefully I can achive everything I want in this project.
Overall I think it turned out very well and if I was to choose a web proxy to use, I would choose Cobalt!
