Scraping without libraries in Python typically involves making HTTP requests, parsing HTML (or other markup languages), and extracting data using basic string manipulation or regular expressions. However, it's important to note that using established libraries like requests for making HTTP requests and BeautifulSoup or lxml for parsing HTML is generally recommended due to their ease of use, reliability, and built-in features.

Here's a simple example of scraping without libraries, where we use Python's built-in urllib for making an HTTP request and then perform basic string manipulation to extract data. In this example, we'll scrape the title of a website:

import urllib.request

def scrape_website(url):
    try:
        # Make an HTTP request
        response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
        
        # Read the HTML content
        html_content = response.read().decode('utf-8')

        # Extract the title using string manipulation
        title_start = html_content.find('', title_start)
        title = html_content[title_start:title_end].strip()

        return title
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape
url_to_scrape = 'https://example.com'
scraped_title = scrape_website(url_to_scrape)

if scraped_title:
    print(f"Scraped title: {scraped_title}")
else:
    print("Scraping failed.")

Keep in mind that scraping without libraries can quickly become complex as you need to handle various aspects such as handling redirects, managing cookies, dealing with different encodings, and more. Libraries like requests and BeautifulSoup abstract away many of these complexities and provide a more robust solution.

Using established libraries is generally recommended for web scraping due to the potential pitfalls and challenges involved in handling various edge cases on the web. Always ensure that your scraping activities comply with the website's terms of service and legal requirements.

To disable the proxy in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Locate the Microsoft Edge application on your computer and click on its icon to launch the browser.

2. Click on the three-dot menu: In the upper right corner of the Edge window, click on the three horizontal dots to open the menu.

3. Select "Settings": From the menu, click on "Settings" to open the Settings pane.

4. Scroll down and click on "Privacy and services": In the Settings pane, scroll down and click on "Privacy and services" to expand the options.

5. Click on "VPN": Under the "Privacy and services" section, click on "VPN" to open the VPN settings.

6. Toggle off "Use secure DNS": In the VPN settings, locate the "Use secure DNS" toggle and switch it off. This will disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

7. Restart Edge: Close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply the changes and ensure that the proxy is disabled.

Alternatively, you can also disable the proxy settings by using the following method:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer.

2. Press Ctrl+Shift+O: Press the Ctrl, Shift, and O keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open the Edge Developer Tools.

3. Click on the "Network" tab: In the Developer Tools window, click on the "Network" tab to view network-related settings.

4. Click on the "Disable proxy" checkbox: In the Network tab, locate the "Disable proxy" checkbox and click on it to disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

5. Restart Edge: Close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply the changes and ensure that the proxy is disabled.

You can check the validity of proxies by using special software and a proxy checker. These tools not only check if the proxy is working, but also inform you about possible blocking by various platforms and social networks. Online services (checkers) also provide information related to ping, speed, proxy anonymity level, and geo. The combination of all these data allows for the most objective assessment of a proxy server's performance.

Go to the settings (the icon in the form of three dots) and open the section "Settings". In the tab at the very bottom, click on "Advanced settings". Click on "Open proxy settings for computer" and in the window that appears, click on "Network settings". Find the line "Automatic detection of parameters", uncheck it, and then, in the section "Proxy", activate the option "Use a proxy server". Enter the proxy host and port in the appropriate fields, and then click "Apply".

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).
