+ <p>In addition to the core features of ad blocking and <a href=

+ management, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> provides many
+ supplemental features, some of them currently under development, that
+ give the end-user more control, more privacy and more freedom:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can be
+ kept alive independently from the client.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <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

+ of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on
+ size, invisible <span class="QUOTE">"web-bugs"</span> and HTML
