+ <command>Privoxy</command> uses the concept of <command>actions</command>
+ 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.
