Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

In addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management, Privoxy provides many supplemental features, that give the end-user more control, more privacy and more freedom:

  • Can keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on.

  • Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour based on client and server headers.
  • Can be run as an “intercepting” proxy, which obviates the need to configure browsers individually.
  • Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client headers.
  • Can be chained with other proxies.
  • Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at http://config.privoxy.org/ (shortcut: http://p.p/). Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
  • Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size, invisible “web-bugs”, JavaScript and HTML annoyances, pop-up windows, etc.)
  • 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.
  • Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
  • Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
  • GIF de-animation.
  • Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
  • Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
  • User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. “blocked” page).
  • Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
  • Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
  • Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration more powerful and versatile over-all.
  • Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
