By using Squid you can easily proxy requests using (for example) HTTP_PROXY environment variable, Squid can then be exposed over ssh. Proxying over socks (-D) or every individual website (-L) becomes rather tiresome. Not all programs will be able to do socks proxies but most can do http proxies - http/1.1 over nc can use a http proxy!
