Firsly, remember that using Tor with browsers other than Tor Browser is a privacy risk. If all you want is to circumvent censorship, then proceed.

1. Configure Tor such that it can connect. You’ll need to use the `Bridges` config option.
2. Launch Tor.
3. Open the settings of the other browser.
4. Go to “proxy” settings
5. Set `127.0.0.1:9050` as a SOCKS5 proxy in that browser.
6. To manage which sites should be routed through the proxy and which should not, you can utilize an extension such as [SmartProxy](https://github.com/salarcode/SmartProxy).

Instead of steps 1 and 2 you can simply launch the Tor Browser, connect with it, then proceed from step 3 with another browser. In step 5, replace `9050` with `9150`.
