Public bug reported:

I set up Tor on my laptop and modified the system settings to use
localhost:9050 as a SOCKS proxy. Applications such as chromium or
firefox use it correctly, but a simple oxide webview gives this error
page when trying to navigate to any URL:

  Tor is not an HTTP Proxy

  It appears you have configured your web browser to use Tor as an HTTP
proxy. This is not correct: Tor is a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy.
Please configure your client accordingly.

  See https://www.torproject.org/documentation.html for more
information.
