I use the venerable (but still actively maintained) Privoxy, which is a proxy but still does most of what I want on HTTPS pages. It can't examine the page contents themselves, but it can block 3rd-party requests by hostname, which gets most of the web-bugs and such.
- claudius 13y agoI had some problems with loading times/pipelining in Opera (12.x) and Privoxy and hence changed to AdBlock (which appears to be the same as AdBlock Chrome referred to above). Browsing became much smoother afterwards.
- anoymous9352 13y agoPrivoxy is associated with SPI, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. A far cry from that shady AdBlock garbage. If you sacrifice privacy/security for convenience, don't be surprised when it has later repercussions. Privoxy is also highly configurable unlike AdBlock. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be at the mercy of some jerkoff named Wladimir, who seems to have basically zero accountability and a very lax sense of ethics.
