How do we configure another browser to use Tor? [closed]
Follow these steps:

Verify that TOR is working correctly using the pre-installed bookmark "
Are you using Tor?
Start Google Chrome.
Using the Tools menus (it looks like a wrench), choose options, "Under the hood". Scroll down to "Network" and click the "Change Proxy Setting" button.
Under the "Connections" tab, choose "LAN Setting" - Select Use Proxy server and enter "Localhost" and port 8118.
Save your work and return to the Chrome web browser. Check that you are using TOR by going here.
A Green message will indicate that TOR is operating correctly. A Red message will indicate that TOR is not set up correctly.

This is for GNU/Linux
I have a script, chromium-tor
, that boots Chromium already connected to a running Tor daemon. On any Ubuntu/Debian system,
sudo apt-get install vidalia
will install Vidalia, an easy Tor admin interface. Run Vidalia (alt-F2
, run "vidalia") and wait for it to give you the all-go. Then run this line:
chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"
depending on whatever your distro's binary is for Chrome or whether or not you use Chromium, you may have to modify that line. This should work.
To run as a single command, make a file /usr/bin/chromium-tor
(you'll need root privileges to do so)
#!/bin/bash
chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"
If you use google-chrome
for your binary, google-chrome-tor
for the name would be better, and replace chromium with google-chrome
in the script. You'll also need to do
chmod +x /usr/bin/chromium-tor
before it will work.
Edit: For Ubuntu, use chromium-browser
instead of chromium
in /usr/bin/chromium-tor
and sometimes port number 9150 is also used.
#!/bin/bash
chromium-browser --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"
