privoxy

A non-caching proxy filter for the web. Privoxy is typically run on the localhost and alters the HTML between the server and the browser. It has many built-in actions for blocking ads, removing cookies, altering referrer headers, and the like. Privoxy can be highly customized, including writing arbitrary regular expressions for manipulating content. I run it everywhere, including on my Nokia N810.

Tips

  • The regular expression I use to filter out advertisements in Facebook’s friend feed (and a general method for adding user styles):
    s@<head>@<head><style type="text/css">.social_ad{display:none !important}</style>@
