Prox was invaluable. I never could write good filters myself but there was a small group on its forum that did a lot of heavy lifting. Tragic that its creator died so young.
I wonder if something like it will come back if ad blocking at the browser level is pessimized by Google and others.

Do you really think they'll allow MITM proxies if they're already going after browser extensions and worse (see the "Web Integrity" stuff that's currently a hot topic)?
- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoCan they remove proxies without clobbering corporate use of the browser? Companies I'm familiar with don't allow direct connection to the net.
