This documentation is included with the current UNRELEASED version of - Privoxy, 3.0.22, 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.
