I do like CP speed...

From what I've experienced visiting other sites and other forums, CP's is by far the best. Not just content, but implementation. Regular forums, even the ones I use on my sites, drive me nuts. Marc My website

It's a local proxy in which you can write filters that not only can insert javascript but also using regular expressions can search and replace any HTML code before it hits your browser. ( Not to mention modify incoming and outgoing headers ) I haven't tried Greasemonkey yet but I doubt it can do anything Proxomitron hasn't been doing for four or five years. http://www.proxomitron.info/[^] Steve T
Proxomitron is really nice, but it's lacking in certain areas. A better one IMHO is Privoxy http://www.privoxy.org/[^] To me it seems much more customisable, and the advantage there is an open browser interface, which allows easy insertion of special rules. If you couple that with Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ [^]and the Adblock extension https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10&application=firefox[^] you'll be able to reduce the noise level down to nearly zero. You can also chain Proxomitron and Privoxy together, which makes the internet look like a text page (mostly) if sheer speed is what you're after (without resorting to lynx http://lynx.browser.org/[^])

Okay, Since I starting using Proxomitron I hardly bothered looking at anything else simply because I've never found any web page modification I wanted that I couldn't do in Proxomitron. I am curious, (not challenging) what can Privoxy do that Proxomitron can't? I realize that not everyone will take to Proxomitron's version of regular expressions so user-friendliness may be an issue to newcomers. Steve T

Firefox? CodeProject? GreaseMonkey? A better Life?
Now I'm really curious what this grease monkey is all about. Where was the download link again? :) -- An eye for an eye will only make the world blind.

Latest Articles: Object Comparer String HelpersI agree with you. I have not used any other forum with the same level of quality as CP's. And with Shog's grease monkey script, things couldn't be better. Well, I suppose I could hack up my own grease monkey script to change the color of things (I know, I know.. heresy! ;)) An eye for a tooth will only make you see weird things.

One major difference is that Proxomitron's author is dead now, and the source code is gone, while Privoxy is an OSS project, meaning it will be constantly upgraded. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

Daniel Turini wrote: One major difference is that Proxomitron's author is dead now, and the source code is gone, while Privoxy is an OSS project... I know that. Open Source is great but for any snapshot of a project (which is what I am interrsted in right now) the fact of Open Source adds exactly zero value. Again, I am not claiming Proxomitron is necessarily better than any other web filter. It's simply that I know Proxomitron's language very well after years of use, and have not yet been faced with a website manipulation I wanted to do and couldn't. I'm certainly willing to change to or add on Privoxy if it offers something I don't already have in Proxomitron but if not why should I lengthen my proxy chain unnecessarily? ...meaning it will be constantly upgraded. Sure, I can adopt it anytime I want, but until then... Steve T
