Isn't Electrum a Bitcoin wallet? Why do you need to connect a proxy to a cryptocurrency wallet? Can you please explain in more detail why a proxy is needed and why it should be connected to a web wallet?
I usually don't have the habit of replying on a thread that's a year old... I usually just report the new post to a moderator and have it removed due to necroposting...
But, it seems you're new to this forum, and your question might not have been completely answered in this thread, so i guess it might be nice to cut you some slack.
You are right, electrum IS a wallet, and it does not HAVE to use the tor proxy. It's fine to run your wallet connecting to clearnet nodes, BUT, those clearnet nodes WILL be able to log your ip and the addresses you request. So, in theory, a node owner will know your ip and part of your unspent outputs... This is why some people prefer extra privacy by running a tor client and using this client as a proxy. By doing this, they hide their ip from the electrum nodes they connect to.
A different sollution sometimes used is running a full node, then installing electrs or electrumx and connecting to your own node... That way you are 100% sure the node owner isn't malicious.
In the future, just as a general rule of thumb: the forum has some rules against necroposting (posting in a thread that hasn't been posted in for a long time), so if you have questions like these, you can open a new thread or PM somebody in the original thread
