# Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

> Using EclipseProxy in a regular browser via extensions or system proxy

## Three options

* **Browser extension** (recommended): per-tab proxy, easy switching
* **System proxy**: applies to all browser traffic
* **Built-in (Firefox)**, Firefox has its own proxy independent of system

## Browser extensions

Most browsers support proxy extensions that allow per-tab switching. Popular options include FoxyProxy, SwitchyOmega, and others available in your browser's extension store.

**General setup:**

1. Install your preferred proxy extension
2. Create new proxy profile or add proxy
3. Protocol: HTTP or SOCKS5
4. Host, port, username, password from your generator
5. Save and activate

Refer to your extension's documentation for specific steps.

## System proxy

### macOS

System Preferences → Network → Advanced → Proxies → check HTTP/HTTPS, enter host:port and credentials. Apply.

### Windows

Settings → Network → Proxy → manual setup → enter host:port. Credentials prompted on first connection.

### Firefox built-in (doesn't use system)

Settings → Network Settings → Manual proxy configuration. Enter HTTP or SOCKS host and port. Firefox prompts for credentials on first request.

## Safari

Safari uses macOS system proxy settings. See macOS instructions above.

## WebRTC leak prevention: important

WebRTC reveals your real IP even through a proxy.

* **Chrome:** install "WebRTC Leak Prevent" extension
* **Firefox:** `about:config` → `media.peerconnection.enabled` → false

Without this, your real IP shows on sites that use WebRTC for fingerprinting.
