- <p>This documentation is included with the current stable version of
- <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, 3.0.21.</p>

- Features</a></h2>
-
- <p>In addition to the core features of ad blocking and <a href=
- "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_cookie" target="_top">cookie</a>
- management, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> provides many
- supplemental features, 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
- <a href="http://config.privoxy.org/" target=
- "_top">http://config.privoxy.org/</a> (shortcut: <a href=
- "http://p.p/" target="_top">http://p.p/</a>). Browser-based tracing
- 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
- annoyances, etc.)</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>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.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the
- configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible
- configuration syntax.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>GIF de-animation.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script
- redirection).</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages
- (e.g. "blocked" page).</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Most features are controllable on a per-site or per-location
- basis.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs
- removed.</p>
- </li>
