UPDATE ON FREE REGISTRATION-FREE AD-FREE PROXIFIERS:

Some programs need proxifiers (like FreeCap, which I used for a week).
 a. Mozilla browsers have their own proxy controls
 b. Chromium browsers use the Windows proxy defaults
 c. But many programs use neither

For those programs which need proxifiers, I found a better proxifier.
 A. FreeeCap
 B. SocksCap64

FreeCap is lightweight and still works for basic SOCKS4/5 or HTTP proxying,
but it's frozen in time while SocksCap64 has been updated more recently.
 <https://sourceforge.net/projects/sockscap64/>
 Actively maintained (though updates are infrequent)
 SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP, and Shadowsocks; supports both TCP & UDP
 "SocksCap64 is an easy and a beautiful way to let the programs
  you want to work through a specific SOCKS proxy server,
  even if your applications don't have such an option."

SocksCap64 is the more modern, feature-rich choice, with broader protocol
support, UDP handling, and better compatibility with current Windows.

Having only used proxies for a short time, my current advice is:
 1. For Chromium browsers, use the script I wrote to sync to Windows
 2. For Mozilla browsers, use their own GUIs (or FoxyProxy's GUI)
 3. For most other apps, use a proxifier such as SocksCap64/FreeCap are
