Proxies aren't vital - they can be very useful for cutting down on ISP to ISP traffic and (in theory) making browsing appear faster by caching websites.

Modern dynamic sites using asp, php etc can largely negate these advantages and can even make proxies seem slower as they keep having to go back to the original server for the pages.
