About Privoxy
Privoxy is a filtering proxy that sits between your browser and the internet. It blocks ads, prevents tracking, and strips cookies, banners, and pop-ups before they reach you. You can customize its action files to whitelist or blacklist specific sites or content types. It works as a stand-alone proxy or together with Squid and other caching proxies.
It supports HTTP and HTTPS filtering, includes a built-in web-based configuration interface, and runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and most Unix flavors. Privoxy uses a flexible configuration system with community-maintained default filters that update regularly to catch new ad networks and tracking domains. You can also write custom filter rules using its powerful regular expression syntax.
Privoxy is free and open source under the GNU GPLv2. It was originally derived from the Internet Junkbuster and is maintained by a volunteer team. It remains a lean, no-nonsense tool for users who want granular control over their web traffic without heavy resource usage.
