- <application>Privoxy</application> will display its
- special <quote>BLOCKED</quote> page if a URL matches one of the
- blocked patterns. If there is sufficient space, a large red
- banner will appear with a friendly message about why the page
- was blocked, and a way to go there anyway. If there is insufficient
- space a smaller blocked page will appear without the red banner.
- One exception is if the URL matches both <quote>+block</quote>
- and <quote>+image</quote>, then it can be handled by
- <quote>+image-blocker</quote> (see below).
