This is a good trick, I have something very similar:

ghost@failbot:~$ cat `which torchrome`
#!/usr/bin/env bash
chromium-browser --proxy-server="127.0.0.1:8123;https=127.0.0.1:8123;
socks=127.0.0.1:8123;sock4=127.0.0.1:8123;
sock5=127.0.0.1:8123,ftp=127.0.0.1:8123" --incognito check.torproject.org

I do have Tor, Polipo and Chromium all installed and configured for that
to work of course. Firefox is my daily driver but I use this locked down
and anonymised Chromium instance purely as my f*** censorship browser
for anything Our Glorious Leaders have decided I shouldn't be allowed to
see. For banking, I use either a virtualized live linux instance or
increasingly spin up a docker machine on the fly and destroy it afterwards.

Cheers
