Does it support SOCKS proxies now? If FoxyProxy or something like that works for it, I might give it a try. Last I checked, the browser itself only supported HTTP proxies and since Safari based it opened the Network Configuration system preferences page.

Edit: Tested on latest Orion. FoxyProxy silently does not function. You can configure a proxy, you can even enable it but it will just not use it. Still no way to use a SOCKS proxy.

Did you try setting a system-wide proxy server under System Settings » Network » (select a connection) » Advanced… » Proxies?

I haven't tried that and that likely will work but I don't want to use that proxy system-wide. I want it specifically for this browser only.

If you want Tor, "torsocks" probably works. I am not sure if it conforms to or cares about environment variables such as "http_proxy" and "https_proxy", or through CLI: "--proxy-server", as some programs do.
