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".
38 Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
39 configure browsers individually.
45 Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client
52 Can be chained with other proxies.
58 Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at <ulink
59 url="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</ulink>
60 (shortcut: <ulink url="http://p.p/">http://p.p/</ulink>). Browser-based
61 tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
67 Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
68 invisible <quote>web-bugs</quote>, JavaScript and HTML annoyances,
75 Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
76 user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated
77 actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
82 Commenting out, per Fabian not believing its fully accurate.
85 HTTP/1.1 compliant (but not all optional 1.1 features are supported).
91 Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
92 a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
98 Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
110 Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
116 Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
122 User-customizable HTML templates for all proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
128 Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
134 Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
140 Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration
141 more powerful and versatile over-all.
147 Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed, and security holes fixed.
