Chromium and privoxy

I'd like to use chromium with privoxy to block ads, but I can't get it to work. I installed and start privoxy, and it works fine with Firefox and Konqueror. In Chromium I go to the proxy settings and set it to manually specify them. Then I put the proxy IP (127.0.0.1) and the port (8118), but chromium continues to connect directly to the internet instead of connecting to the proxy. Has anyone got a proxy to work with Chromium? How?

Re: Chromium and privoxy

I use privoxy with chromium but ended up using a small script to call chromium from wmii's C+a menu

#!/bin/bash
/opt/chromium-browser/chrome --enable-plugins -proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:8118 --homepage

Re: Chromium and privoxy

Yes, this works, thanks. I don't know why they added the config dialog if it doesn't work...
