- Modularized configuration that will allow for system wide settings, and
- individual user settings. (not implemented yet, probably a 3.1 feature)
+ Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can
+ be kept alive independently from the client.

- Blocking of annoying pop-up browser windows.
+ Supports IPv6, provided the operating system does so too,
+ and the configure script detects it.
-
+
- HTTP/1.1 compliant (most, but not all 1.1 features are supported).
+ Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour
+ based on client and server headers.
-
+
- Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
- generally a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax over
- previous versions.
+ Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
+ configure browsers individually.
-
+
- GIF de-animation.
+ Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client
+ headers.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Can be chained with other proxies.

- Web page content filtering (removes banners based on size,
- invisible web-bugs
, JavaScript, pop-ups, status bar abuse,
- etc.)
+ 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.

+ invisible web-bugs
and HTML annoyances, etc.)

- Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
+ 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.

- Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
+ Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
+ a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.

- User-customizable HTML templates (e.g. 404 error page).
+ GIF de-animation.

- Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
+ Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
-

- Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
+ User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).

- Builds from source on most UNIX-like systems. Packages available for: Linux
- (RedHat, SuSE, or Debian), Windows, Sun Solaris, Mac OSX, OS/2, HP-UX 11 and AmigaOS.
-
+ Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
-

- In addition, the configuration is much more powerful and versatile over-all.
+ Most features are controllable on a per-site or per-location basis.
