    "Socket" and "Http" are different proxy types. Proxies can be used to forge your location or some proxies compress the data to reduce the network data that has to be transmitted.

The socket connection keeps the connection to the sites. The HTTP selection will search for the site, each time searching for the site's IP address.

If you can't get a connection through the socket then switch to HTTP. This choice is available when you’re using extreme-savings mode; use the "O" button and go to the savings summary.

The Socket/HTTP browser setting is faster and more cost efficient, whereas HTTP is a fallback when your operator does not support socket/HTTP.
