perhaps syntax error in that script you have pasted?

I assume you pasted exactly text as mentioned on:
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2022-October/025315.html
or:
https://webproxy.diladele.com/docs/network/secure_proxy/browsers/

yes, by using PAC script, or perhaps an extention that configures it 
instead. foxyproxy was mentioned iirc

I know nothing of autoconfig being legacy.
