+ more control, more privacy and more freedom:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can be

+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Supports IPv6, provided the operating system does so too, and
+ the configure script detects it.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour based on
+ client and server headers.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need
+ to configure browsers individually.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server
+ and client headers.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Can be chained with other proxies.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Integrated browser-based configuration and control utility at
