Which is good and more safe for managing facebook accounts and google ads acc?

Also what is the tunnel feature and does it help on being safe?
 
It depends on what your tool supports. For example, automation tools like jarvee support http, while in the browser you can use both http and socks.

In regards to which one is better, it doesn't really matter because you will still be using the http protocol to connect to a network's website. So, I don't think you should worry about the protocols.

One thing to look for is the anonymity level. Always get high-anonymity proxies that don't disclose neither your IP or the fact that they are a proxy.
 
I use for things like that the Addon "proxy switcher for chrome" with socks5, behind my VPN.
 
SOCKS is a type of proxy connection protocol that’s used for general needs. It is often a default option with proxy services that don’t support all proxy types.The standard SOCKS protocol is known as SOCKS4. It provides all the features described in the previous section. However, there’s a more secure SOCKS5 version too.

HTTP is another protocol and remains the more popular one. The HTTP protocol functions are on a higher level than SOCKS protocols. As a result, it can understand traffic coming over a TCP connection, whereas a SOCKS connection cannot. Along with the HTTP protocol, there is a more secure HTTPS protocol to secure the connection. If you don’t want the data to be readable if it’s intercepted, the HTTPS proxy is a better bet. The HTTPS option is more desirable when connecting to an intranet or your bank from abroad.
