It is possible to use Tor in Google Chrome, and although there is no add-on, it is possible to configure the settings to make it work in the web browser.
- Setting up Tor in Google Chrome
The best way to set up Tor in Google Chrome is to configure the settings upon launch. The following command should be run: Google-chrome --proxy- server="127.0.0.1:8118;https=127.0.0.1:8118; socks=127.0.0.1:8118; sock4=127.0.0.1:8118; sock5=127.0.0.1:8118" --incognito check torproject.org. The command that is typed in informs Google Chrome to load up using the proxy settings and ensures that all extensions use the local host port of 8118.
The command then tells Google Chrome to load incognito and to verify the program. Ensure that any versions of Google Chrome are closed before entering the command.
