Privoxy Crack

When you develop a anonymising, ad-removing, popup-blocking proxy server, don't do what Privoxy appear to do, which is s/open\((.*)\)/privoxyWindowOpen(\1)/g because then you'll convert any instances of "open()" in the text, confusing people.

Update:Bug reported, but nothing has happened to it since 2004-06-25.

I used to use Privoxy way back when. Very handy when bandwidth was restricted and pop ups were rife. But with the current browsers I haven't had a need for it. It also broke a lot of Javascript pages.

What are you using it for?

I'm not. Someone commented on my previous entry asking about privoxyWindowOpen(). Appears they were seeing that rather than open().
