That is why tor browser is useful: it does such stuff for you by ensuring that all browser traffic is going via tor. You may use torbrowser overlay to use this package in Gentoo. I'd put the browser into a separate network namespace just to be sure they don't access the regular eth0. I've done it with both Chromium and Firefox in the past. Still, Tor is mostly about anonimity and a user can't anonymize their browser fingerprints to sufficient level with such setup. A website owner can also disclose your location through JavaScript (namespacing should prevent this, though). I also vote for using Tor browser and do a research on their web resources why video stopped working (it definetely was OK in the past).

I hope that you > will have the same results. Be aware of privacy issues with such setup. Your browser may leak DNS requests, e.g. use standard system calls and they will be sent over casual network (not TOR), thus your provider will know what resources your are visiting as well as owner of DNS service you use. Chrome may leak other data in background as well. While such background traffic can be redirected to tor using tsocks and iptables, this is not very trivial task. That is why tor browser is useful: it does such stuff for you by ensuring that all browser traffic is going via tor. You may use torbrowser overlay to use this package in Gentoo.

[gentoo-user] TOR-Browser Bundle: And the rest was silence...
Hi, I got a interesting problem: When using Firefox 44, I can watch Videos for example from YouTube and can hear the audio. When using the newest TOR-Browser bundle, videos are playing fine...but without any sound. I have no clue, what happens here. Any help to fix that is very appreciated... thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Meino
