Title:
  No way to use a proxy server in webbrowser-app

Status in Web Browser App:
  Triaged
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It would be nice to be able to specify a socks proxy server via
  ~/.config/webbrowser-app/settings.conf

  For example (using the Firefox about:config variables for this
  example):

  network.proxy.socks=localhost
  network.proxy.socks_port=3128
  network.proxy.no_proxies_on=localhost,127.0.0.1
  network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true
  network.proxy.socks_version=5

  A socks proxy can easily be created using ssh and / or tor.
