- This documentation is included with the current UNRELEASED version of - Privoxy, v.3.0.18, and is mostly - complete at this point. The most up to date reference for the time - being is still the comments in the source files and in the individual - configuration files. Development of a new version is currently - nearing completion, and includes significant changes and enhancements - over earlier versions. -
-- Since this is a UNRELEASED version, not all new features are well - tested. This documentation may be slightly out of sync as a result - (especially with CVS sources). And there may be bugs, though hopefully not many! -
-- In addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management, Privoxy provides many supplemental features, - some of them currently under development, that give the end-user - more control, more privacy and more freedom: -
--
-- Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can be - kept alive independently from the client. -
-- Supports IPv6, provided the operating system does so too, and - the configure script detects it. -
-- 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" and HTML - annoyances, 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. -
-- GIF de-animation. -
-- Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection). -
-- User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages - (e.g. "blocked" page). -
-- Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes. -
-- Most features are controllable on a per-site or per-location - basis. -
-- Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed. -
