Chromium with Tor - need help for quick change Proxy Settings in Chromium

[sherpa]

Hi developers,

I'm a fan of privacy and have tried to work Chromium with Tor.

Yes, I knows, Tor (portable) must to be launched before Chromium, but Chromium itself must to launched with a particular command-line parameter.

Because Tor is waiting for a browser (Chromium) on port 9050 (and use SOCK_5) there is not simple to launch Chromium with command-line arguments.

If You use Chromium Portable You must:

The quick way that I have found is use 'chrlauncher' http://www.henrypp.org/product/chrlauncher with a new command-line row in it's file chrlauncher.ini:

-> ChromiumCommandLine=--proxy-server="socks5://localhost:9050" --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost"

This solution works (well) but I ask to developers if there is the possibility to easy change proxy settings in installed version of Chromium.

If You use Chromium installed You must:

1. select the Chromium icon

2. select Properties

3. select Destination (thirdy row)

4. add to the end of this row this string:

   (add a space) --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:9050" --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost"

5. so the complete string is this:    

   "C:\Users\Pc 8\AppData\Local\Chromium\Application\chrome.exe" --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:9050" --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost"

6. press Apply, then OK and return to Windows Desktop.

Remember:

1. first run Tor

2. then run Chromium   

I have see that Firefox has a dedicated 'card' for setting proxy details:

-> Options -> Advanced -> Net -> Settings -> Manual settings 

   Host SOCKS:  127.0.0.1   (localhost)

   Port:                 9050

   select                SOCKS v5

I have searched the same page of Firefox on Chromium for easy change Proxy settings.  

Chromium has a page for 'net-internals':

from URL-bar write 'chrome://net-internals'

There is a possibility of load a file (in json format!) for import settings (I think)  but I do not know how to create this file with the string seen above.

How to quick change Proxy Settings and put a simple string (command-line) in Chromium ?

So I'm waiting for a solution from developers on how to quick change Proxy settings for current session.

Regards.

You can create an extension (once) that changes the proxy settings and install it.
