To use Tor I'm using lynx with torsocks. This way connection requests are
proxied to a locally running tor-proxy which in turn connects to the
tor-network. Obviously you need the tor service installed on your
system.

To use it that way in general, I made this alias in my bashrc: 
        alias lynx='torsocks lynx'
