proxomitron
Doesnt seem to be a bad little program..basically it filters active scripts, stops popups, etc..anyway I've used it the last 2 days & I have noticed less 'junk' (ads,etc) appearing as I browse web sites, & no popups yet. this is off their web site:
Using special HTML filters, the Proxomitron can transform web pages on the fly - changing most anything you wish. Speed your browsing by saying goodbye to slow loading cyber spam and other web-gimmickry. Customize pages to suit your tastes. Take control of your web viewing, and don't be slave to some web-master's whims. It works with most any browser (not just the big two) and, for starters, can do the following keen things... Stop or limit Pop-up windows Control MIDI music and other sounds Freeze animated .GIFs - load only the first frame Kill most all advertising banners Stop Web-Branding and other scripts added by web space providers Stop Pop-up alert/confirm boxes Remove slow web counters Stop web pages and ads from "auto-refreshing" Remove Dynamic HTML Prevent getting stuck in someone's frames Remove frames or tables altogether for that matter Kill or change selected Java scripts and applets Add your own scripts to pages! Remove or replace web page and/or table background images Stop Status bar scrollers Unhide URLs obscured by status line text Convert blinking text to bold Remove Layers and Style sheets Automatically re-write or redirect URLs Create lists of sites to block or allow Create similar lists for just about anything else And as they say, much, much more... All features can be individually toggled on and off, or limited to specific sites. Better yet, it's just a taste of what the many included filtering rules can do. You have the freedom to modify the rules or create new, equally powerful, rules of your own! You can add filters or complete configurations created by other Proxomitron users for an ever expaning array of tasks. The secret life of a web browser revealed! Not everyone is aware that there's a hidden conversation going on between your web browser and the sites you visit. Known as HTTP header messages they can contain all sorts of information - some of which you might rather keep to yourself. The Proxomitron not only lets you view all messages, but also lets you alter, add, or delete them. If security is important to you, make it your business to know what your browser is telling the world and have it say only what you want!

Sounds like a sales pitch.
While there are some good things mentioned in the features, there are also some things not so good. I am not sure how getting rid of tables would benefit the viewer. What is the text just dumped out on the page in random order. Using stylesheets is of great benefit to a web designer since it gives a consistent look among browsers and resolutions. It would help how if stylesheets were deleted? I' ll pass on this one. |

I tried that program some time ago and I really don't like how it manipulates the pages. I like the pop-up killer but it doesn't kill nearly all of them. I, like mairving, pass on this one. There are other good programs if you're looking for pop-up killers.

Proxomitron is the single indispensible utility on my box.
I cannot recommend it enough. It is built on user-defined filters; it does not block or change ANYTHING unless the particular user has loaded/designed a filter to specifically remove/add/change the html. It is unmatched in it's ability to block ads and PROTECT your privacy on the web. It is NOT for a casual user, though, it's power comes from the unlimited options avaialable thru it's filters and it can be overwhelming for a first-timer. The support community is unmatched, though. Any one who is interested can check out my config http://www.lust4lennon.com/default.cfg |
