I do like CP speed...

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
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!

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
