+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<P>
+
+Privoxy is a non-caching
+web proxy
+with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy,
+modifying web page data, managing HTTP
+cookies,
+controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious
+Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be
+customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for
+both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
+<P>
+
+Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm).
+<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
+<H2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</H2>
+
+<P>
+
+Browsers can either be individually configured to use
+<B>Privoxy</B> as a HTTP proxy (recommended),
+or <B>Privoxy</B> can be combined with a packet
+filter to build an intercepting proxy
+(see <I>config</I>). The default setting is for
+localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config file). To set the
+HTTP proxy in Netscape and Mozilla, go through: <B>Edit</B>;
+<B>Preferences</B>; <B>Advanced</B>;
+<B>Proxies</B>; <B>Manual Proxy Configuration</B>;
+<B>View</B>.
+<P>
+
+For Firefox, go through: <B>Tools</B>;
+<B>Options</B>; <B>General</B>;
+<B>Connection Settings</B>;
+<B>Manual Proxy Configuration</B>.
+<P>
+
+For Internet Explorer, go through: <B>Tools</B>;
+<B>Internet Properties</B>; <B>Connections</B>;
+<B>LAN Settings</B>.
+<P>
+
+The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
+https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: <B>Privoxy</B> can only
+proxy HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Do not try it with FTP or other protocols.
+HTTPS presents some limitations, and not all features will work with HTTPS
+connections.
+<P>
+
+For other browsers, check the documentation.
+<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
+<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2>
+
+<P>
+
+<B>Privoxy</B> can be configured with the various configuration
+files. The default configuration files are: <I>config</I>,
+<I>default.filter</I>, and
+<I>default.action</I>. <I>user.action</I> should
+be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules of
+<I>default.action</I>, and <I>user.filter</I> for
+locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix
+and Unix-like systems, these are located in
+<I>/etc/privoxy/</I> by default.
+<P>
+
+<B>Privoxy</B> uses the concept of <B>actions</B>
+in order to manipulate the data stream between the browser and remote sites.
+There are various actions available with specific functions for such things
+as blocking web sites, managing cookies, etc. These actions can be invoked
+individually or combined, and used against individual URLs, or groups of URLs
+that can be defined using wildcards and regular expressions. The result is
+that the user has greatly enhanced control and freedom.
+<P>
+
+The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your
+web browser at <A HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</A>
+(assuming the configuration allows it).
+<B>Privoxy's</B> configuration parameters can also be viewed at
+the same page. In addition, <B>Privoxy</B> can be toggled on/off.
+This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access.
+<P>
+
+See the <I>User Manual</I> for a detailed
+explanation of installation, general usage, all configuration options, new
+features and notes on upgrading.
+<A NAME="lbAH"> </A>
+<H2>SAMPLE CONFIGURATION</H2>
+
+<P>
+
+A brief example of what a simple <I>default.action</I>
+configuration might look like:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ # Define a few useful custom aliases for later use
+ {{alias}}
+
+ # Useful aliases that combine more than one action
+ +crunch-cookies = +crunch-incoming-cookies +crunch-outgoing-cookies

+ +block-as-image = +block +handle-as-image
+
+ # Fragile sites should have the minimum changes
+ fragile = -block -deanimate-gifs -fast-redirects -filter \
+ -hide-referer -prevent-cookies -kill-popups
+
+ ## Turn some actions on ################################
+ ## NOTE: Actions are off by default, unless explictily turned on

+ advice.
+ .*downloads.
+ # uploads or downloads

+</PRE>
+
+<P>
+
+Then for a <I>user.action</I>, we would put local,
