Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk.
Privoxy has a very 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.
Here are some key features of "Privoxy":
Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at http://config.privoxy.org/ (shortcut: http://p.p/). Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
Web page content filtering (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.
HTTP/1.1 compliant (but not all optional 1.1 features are supported).
Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and generally a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax over previous versions.
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.
