Socks5 proxy is a network service that can be used to hide the real IP address and provide network access by establishing a proxy server connected to the target website. The following are some common browsers suitable for Socks5 proxy:

1. Google Chrome: Chrome browser users can use some proxy extensions, such as ProxySwitchyomega or FoxyProxyStandard, to configure and use Socks5 proxy.

2. Mozilla Firefox: Firefox browser can also use the Proxy Switcher and Manager plug-in or the Foxy Proxy Standard plug-in to manage and use Socks5 proxy.

3.Opera: Opera browser has a built-in proxy setting page, which can directly configure and use Socks5 proxy.

4.Safari: Safari browser does not support direct use of Socks5 proxy. However, you can use some third-party tools, such as ProxyCap or SquidMan, to set the Socks5 proxy as a system-level proxy, and then access the network through Safari.

5. Microsoft Edge: Currently, the Edge browser does not support the direct use of Socks5 proxy. However, you can set the Socks5 proxy as a system proxy at the operating system level and make it suitable for all applications, including Edge.
