SSH tunnel using SOCKS

How to create a SOCKS proxy to securely tunnel HTTP traffic

ssh -N -D 8888 yourserver.com

This will connect to yourserver.com over SSH, open a SOCKS server on port 8888, and not create a terminal session.

From here you could then open chromium and point it to the SOCKS server like this:
chromium --incognito --proxy-server=socks://localhost:8888
