The main difference between the two settings is that "TOR/Privacy (SOCKS5)"
will send DNS requests over the proxy (preventing leaking of private
metadata), whereas "SOCKS5" will not.

The question is comparable to "what's the difference between 'I-95' and 'a
highway'?".
SOCKS5 is a protocol. TOR is a network that uses that protocol.
If you wanted to use SOCKS5, but not through TOR, you'd need another specific
server that offers SOCKS5.
Yes, TOR is a more vast network than

Hello,
What's the difference between "TOR/Privacy (SOCKS5)" and "SOCKS5" in Pidgin
proxy settings?
Where i can learn more about that? And can i use just SOCKS5 to connect through
TOR (127.0.0.1, port 9050)?
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything in Google and in your FAQ.
Thank you!_

From what I can see by grepping the code, they are mostly treated the same
except for one difference in jabber/si.c .
