So instead of using only tor when using tor browser, I can use tor while using firefox, the command line, etc.

I use Manjaro Cinnamon.

I know I’ll have to be careful with emails and some other applications that aren’t encrypted.

    I just install “tor” package in Debian-based OSes and, ensure that the “tor” service is started and configure the applications I want to use “tor” by setting their proxy configuration to Socks 5 in 127.0.0.1 IP with 9050 port if they allow it.

      So it depends on whether each application allows setting Socks 5? Is there a list somewhere to check a list of files that allow that configuration? I would need at least alacritty, element and a couple others. And how could I block the rest of the connections that don’t go through Socks 5?

      What would happen if I use tor browser while using archtorify? I find it helpful to be able to change the tor circuit with a button. I wish there was something like that in firefox when using torify.

    Don’t. Tor is great for certain things, not all of the time. It will make you much easier to fingerprint than hardened Firefox without a VPN or Tor. It is best to only reserve Tor for your Darknet uses.
