You can just use tor and set your browser or whatever to use it as a
proxy. Torsocks mostly does the same thing. Kind of. (Not really.)
Word of warning: if you want to stay anonymous, you should use Tor
Browser or Tails. Icecat is a bad choice, it has few users and its
developers added some custom code that makes it very easy to figure out
your aren't running vanilla Firefox.
