don't have filled in socks proxy. should enter 127.0.0.1 port 9050 (tor port)? please forgive noob question, browser use socks proxy for? need use tor socks proxy browser? thanks.
you not need use socks proxy option in browser privoxy.
socks server proxy lower level tcp or udp connection, while http server proxy http protocol.
http server can because understands http connection perform content blocking , content caching.
possibly use socks proxy if using other protocols on tor network.
