In fact it specifically tells you not to use it with other browsers/applications[1]. It's a combo of a browser + tor client. The browser has its proxy set to the tor client, so the only way it can reach the internet is via tor. Getting that to behave properly is far easier/reliable than trying to get it to work for every application/os/hardware configuration.
