+ <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>
