+> The default setting has filtering turned <SPAN
+CLASS="emphasis"
+><I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>off</I
+></SPAN
+>, which
+ subsequently means that compression is <SPAN
+CLASS="emphasis"
+><I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>on</I
+></SPAN
+>. Remember
+ that filtering does not work on compressed pages, so if you use, or want to
+ use, filtering, you will need to force compression off. Example:
+ </P
+><P
+> <TABLE
+BORDER="0"
+BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
+WIDTH="90%"
+><TR
+><TD
+><PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"

+>prevent-compression</A
+> }
+ .google.</PRE
+></TD
+></TR
+></TABLE
+>
+ </P
+><P
+> Or if you use a number of filters, or filter many sites, you may just want
+ to turn off compression for all sites in
+ <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>default.action</TT
+> (or
+ <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>user.action</TT
+>).

+> Also, <A
+HREF="actions-file.html#SESSION-COOKIES-ONLY"
+>session-cookies-only</A
+> is
+ off by default now. If you've liked this feature in the past, you may want
+ to turn it back on in <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>user.action</TT
+> now.
