15 If you make changes to this file, please verify the finished
16 docs all display as intended.
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 Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can
38 be kept alive independently from the client.
50 Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour
51 based on client and server headers.
57 Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
58 configure browsers individually.
64 Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client
71 Can be chained with other proxies.
77 Integrated browser-based configuration and control utility at <ulink
78 url="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</ulink>
79 (shortcut: <ulink url="http://p.p/">http://p.p/</ulink>). Browser-based
80 tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
86 Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
87 invisible <quote>web-bugs</quote>, JavaScript and HTML annoyances,
94 Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
95 user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated
96 actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
102 Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
103 a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
115 Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
121 Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
127 User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
133 Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
139 Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
145 Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration
146 more powerful and versatile over-all.
152 Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
