Tor is a great tool to enhance and protect your online privacy, but you already knew that. You want to know how to combine it with Google Chrome without applying Tor in system wide proxy setting , don't you? Read on.
I installed Tor, Polipo and Vidalia in Ubuntu and successfully use it with Firefox + FoxyProxy, but have no luck with Chrome + Proxy Switchy (many articles suggest this extension, so I tried it first but it doesn't work). Then, I tried other proxy manager extension, and I found the one that works with Tor. it's Proxy Anywhere.

After installation, configure it to use :
- Protocol : socks5
- Host : 127.0.0.1
- Port : 9050
You can configure it to start automatically and/or even in Incognito mode only.
Click the small button to activate Proxy Anywhere, if it haven't already and go to https://check.torproject.org to check are you using Tor or not.
Voila, Tor in Chrome!
Works for me, your mileage may vary.
