Privoxy to the rescue...
Authored by: cynikal on Dec 02, '02 01:50:13PM

been there, done that.. the problem i have with privoxy is that it removes the browser's default behaviour of auto-completing urls. i.e.. you type in cnn and it adds www. and .com, it's a lot more convenient than typing out the whole address.

sure it might seem like a minor thing, but it bugs me enough to not use it (since i have set up my chimera/mozilla browsers to pretty much filter out 95% of advertisements anyway).

and i've looked into gettting privoxy to do the url auto completition but the privoxy developers even admitted this is a bug and said they hope to have it fixed "soon".
