  Looking at the /usr/portage/net-proxy directory, I see several proxy
programs.  I checked the privoxy man page at linux.die.net and it
mentions that some features are not available under https.  Is this a
privoxy limit, or is it a limitation of proxies in general?

  Is "tinyproxy" noticeably simpler than privoxy?  My main requirement
is to block a list of domains.  Is it possible for a proxy to edit a
webpage on-the-fly, so that references to unwanted URLs are stripped
out, and the browser doesn't waste time trying to download from a
blocked adserver?
