Let's say I've configured my chrome browser to use an elite proxy for browsing downloading etc,. What information can my ISP see about the connection? Thanks in advance.

@qasdfdsaq i never heard about noob proxy before, are you sure it is HW & SW, "noob" feature sounds more about gaming than technical language... – Francisco Tapia Aug 07 '15 at 20:47

An ISP can see everything that goes over the wire - encrypted traffic just won't make sense (for example, they could see you're looking at your online banking, but couldn't read your bank statements), for non-encrypted traffic, they could see and read everything.
In short, if your connection to your "elite" proxy is encrypted, your browsing history is safe, if not, then your ISP could read your entire browsing history.
