18 This file is included into:
30 FIXME: complete the list of features. change the order: most important
31 features to the top of the list. prefix new features with "NEW".
37 Can keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on.
43 Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour
44 based on client and server headers.
50 Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
51 configure browsers individually.
57 Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client
64 Can be chained with other proxies.
70 Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at <ulink
71 url="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</ulink>
72 (shortcut: <ulink url="http://p.p/">http://p.p/</ulink>). Browser-based
73 tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
79 Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
80 invisible <quote>web-bugs</quote>, JavaScript and HTML annoyances,
87 Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
88 user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated
89 actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
95 Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
96 a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
102 Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
114 Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
120 Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
126 User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
132 Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
138 Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
144 Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration
145 more powerful and versatile over-all.
151 Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
