That's interesting. IIRC tsocks doesn't emulate the select-style system call interface that chromium likely uses for its networking.

I'm a bit surprised to find that it works with Firefox; I generally prefer to configure proxies where possible as tsocks is a horrible (albeit very useful) hack.

Looks like it does hook select: https://github.com/pc/tsocks/blob/master/tsocks.c#L343. However, it doesn't hook epoll, which is The Right Way to do operations on any number of sockets nowadays.

Ah yeah, thanks, that makes a bit more sense.
