Summary     : Privoxy - privacy enhancing proxy
Description :
Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for

controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other
obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and

Update Information:

- Fixed two memory leaks. Process growth seems stopped now.
- Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
- Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
 couple of client-crashing, download corruption and
 Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
 web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
- Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
 termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
 error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
- Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
 including the notorious "blank page" problem.
- Various filter improvements; most notably the unsolicited-popups
 filter became less destructive
- Major revamp of the actions file
