Honestly, you’re overthinking it a bit. If you’re just browsing, HTTP proxy is fine. But if you’re even slightly considering gaming or other apps, go with socks proxy.
I’d recommend trying both with a tool like Proxy Pilot. It lets you switch between socks proxy vs http proxy setups super easily, so you can see which one works better for your needs.
