This documentation is included with the current UNRELEASED version of - Privoxy, v.3.0.18, - 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 UNRELEASED 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!
In addition to the core - features of ad blocking and - cookie management, - Privoxy provides many supplemental - features, some of them currently under development, - 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. -
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. -
