browsing internet via proxy in epiphany

Any idea how to set up proxy in epiphany? Something like in firefox's preferences/advanced/network/connection?

"Gnome socks proxy (instead of within epiphany). This will cause you all sorts of headaches with other apps, though (like apt, etc.)

Tell Gnome to use your Tunnel

You can tell all applications on your
system to use this tunnel through
Gnome’s network-proxy interface. It is
located under
System>Preferences>Network Proxy. You
can set up the SOCKS proxy in the
Network Proxy and apply the settings
system wide"

"Can't be done the way you want according to the Epiphany documentation

Perhaps you have to do it the other way round / find a browser other than Epiphany to use the proxy, which is not what you want but the best I can think of (dillo seems a rather recherche web browser that you aare probably not using and it will use a proxy if you set it up in your ~/.dillo/dillorc configuration file)."
