This documentation is included with the current stable version of Privoxy, + 3.0.30.
+In addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management, Privoxy provides many supplemental + features, 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.
+Supports https inspection which allows to filter https requests.
+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.
+- This documentation is included with the current beta version of Privoxy, 3.0.25, 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 beta 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! -
