as first I'd like to note that squid is a HTTP/FTP proxy, not a port

squid also does not actively distribute content.
It can fetch and cache it, but the rest is on you.
and according to your description, most of the work is on you.
Well, yes that I see. I ask here because the most important part of
what I have in mind is squid in tandem with an ICAP plugin, so you
should know best about technologies around it. I am not asking for you
to do such thing or change the design of squid for me.
Probably, all the functional requirements relating to what I have
described can not straight-forwardly done with squid, but there should
be a way to use other applications' output to dynamically reconfigure:
/etc/squid/squid.conf
So, my questions could be reduced to: which exactly are the
configuration lines that should be changed in both squid and the
browsers on the connected computers or the different browsers in the
same computer?
this apaprently means that all squid caches running on their machines will
transparently intercept outgoing port 80 connections. Should be easier on
local machine.

note that intercepting HTTPS (port 443) is much more work and issues than
port 80 (http).

have to think more about why you have suggested such a solution (or
possibly misinterpreted my idea)
your description sounded like running caching squid on each machine ("all
other internal computers")
Also, it's much easier to do intercepting proxy on local machine, as you
don't have to play with routing (which is required for intercepting
connections).
Also, it's easier to reconfigure multiple squid caches on multiple computers
than (tons of) different clients on each computer...
