I've never seen a good reason for per-user ad blocking. If it's an ad, I want it blocked and I'm not clear on why anyone wouldn't. On the rare occasions when there is a false positive, privoxy has a link right in its block page for "go there anyway". If it's a false negative, it should be added, of course. As for adding stuff easily, I have an /etc/privoxy/adblock.action file separate from any other action files (and referenced in /etc/privoxy/config). It's very simple: {+block } .247realmedia.com .2o7.net .adbrite.com .adbureau.net [ 90 more lines ] /(.*/)?adv/.* /(.*/)?ads/ /(.*/)?adx/.* When I run across a new ad server, I edit the file (sudoedit, actually, though I don't think there is any reason it couldn't be user-owned) and add another domain or pattern. I don't even have to restart privoxy, since it is smart enough to reread changed config files. > Celejar --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
