In 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 keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on. -
Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour - based on client and server headers. -
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/ - (shortcut: http://p.p/). 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 most 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. -
