+> Probably the browser is requesting ads through HTTPS and <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+>
+ is blocking the requests. Privoxy's error messages are delivered
+ unencrypted and while it's obvious for the browser that the HTTPS
+ request is already blocked by the proxy, some warn about unauthenticated
+ content anyway.</P
+><P
+> To work around the problem you can redirect those requests to an invalid
+ local address instead of blocking them. While the redirects aren't
+ encrypted either, many browsers don't care. They simply follow the
+ redirect, fail to reach a server and display an error message instead
+ of the ad.</P
+><P
+> To do that, enable logging to figure out which requests get blocked by
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> and add the hosts (no path patterns) to a section like this:</P
