To build Privoxy from source, autoconf, GNU make (gmake), and, of course, a C
compiler like gcc are required.

.SH "INSTALLATION AND USAGE"
.PP
Browsers must be individually configured to use \fBPrivoxy\fR as
and Unix-like systems, these are located in
\fI/etc/privoxy/\fR by default.
.PP
-See the \fIUser Manual\fR for a detailed
-explanation of installation, general usage, all configuration options, new
-features and notes on upgrading.
+\fBPrivoxy\fR uses the concept of \fBactions\fR
+in order to manipulate the data stream between the browser and remote sites.
+There are various actions available with specific functions for such things
+as blocking web sites, managing cookies, etc. These actions can be invoked
+individually or combined, and used against individual URLs, or groups of URLs
+that can be defined using wildcards and regular expressions. The result is
+that the user has greatly enhanced control and freedom.
.PP
The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your
web browser at http://config.privoxy.org/.
\fBPrivoxy's\fR configuration parameters can also be viewed at
the same page. In addition, \fBPrivoxy\fR can be toggled on/off.
This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access.
