I tried switching to Privoxy the other day. You have to manually convert AdBlock lists to their configuration format, so it's less convenient. On top of that, some sites no longer worked and browsing generally felt slower. I think in the end doing the filtering in a native (C) program is the way to go, but right now it's not comparable to how hassle-free ABP is.
- joosters 12y agoYeah, the config is horrible IMO. A packaged privoxy install with ABP-comparable rules would be very useful. I've never tried converting ABP rules into privoxy, but I did write a crude perl script to grab Ghostery's blocks and convert them into privoxy config files.
- Zirro 12y agoI found these while configuring Privoxy a few weeks ago: GNU/Linux: http://andrwe.org/scripting/bash/privoxy-blocklist http://andrwe.org/scripting/bash/privoxy-blocklist OS X: https://github.com/skroll/privoxy-adblock https://github.com/skroll/privoxy-adblock Scripts to convert Adblock-filters to the Privoxy-format. They have worked well so far.
