Sure it can .. I've been doing it with Firefox and the "foxyproxy" 
plug-in for some time.

The main functional element that Privoxy adds is Socks v4a support 
(namely, the ability to pass domain names and not IP addresses).
(Privoxy also adds a lot of privacy-related stuff .. but you can edit 
your firefox config and use things like NoScript to accomplish almost 
the same things).
