Privoxy - Home PagePrivoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data, managing HTTP cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm).The most recent release is 3.0.8 (stable). Available for:AmigaOS Debian FreeBSD Mac OS X OpenBSD OS/2 Solaris 10 Sources Win32FeaturesIn addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management, Privoxy provides many supplemental features, that give the end-user more control, more privacy and more freedom: * Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to configure browsers individually. * Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client headers. * Can be chained with other proxies. * Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at http://config.privoxy.org/ Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling. * Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size, invisible "web-bugs", JavaScript and HTML annoyances, pop-up windows, etc.) * Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated actions files won't overwrite individual user settings. * Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax. * Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies). * GIF de-animation. * Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection). * Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads). * User-customizable HTML templates for all proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page). * Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes. * Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix). * Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration more powerful and versatile over-all. * Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed, and security holes fixed.
