Another way and for me it is the simplest best solution is by using Google Chrome Command Line Switches. Take a look to the picture below:
1. Right click the Google Chrome shortcut,
2. Click Properties, you will see the popup window,
3. On the "Target" add "--proxy-server=proxy-address:port" (ex. 127.0.0.1:3128) at the end of the line, so the full line will be ""C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:9123"
4. Click OK to finish.
Now, every time you click on the shortcut, the browser will use the proxy server to connect to the internet. Or you can also do like this:
Just click Windows Start Menu and choose Run ( Windows Button + R). Then enter "chrome --proxy-server=proxy-address:port"
