This has several problems: it's less efficient, it might break some sites, and it's a security risk because people can use this proxy to browse the web and possibly do bad stuff with it. If you can get your code signed (see: http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToSignJavascript), then you should modify Parameters.js so that this isn't used. Otherwise, you're stuck with it.
