Err.. no.  Listening on port 80 is not the way to go.  You have a traffic
going from say, your computer in your local LAN to a web server NOT from
your computer in your local LAN to your squid computer.  In another word,
your computer is not talking to the squid computer directly.

eg.

www.google.com <---> Your SQUID COMP <---> Your Computer

If squid listens on port 80, it is not transparent.  You have to configure
"Your Computer" to use the proxy at your squid computer at port 80.

Tranparent proxies are used by most ISPs to reduce the download bandwidth
when users do not automatically select a proxy.
