Hi Mike,

good to remind me of privoxy: I had it running in the past but that
particular machine went 'out of service' and was never replaced as I
thought squid to be sufficient for my need. If I remember right it was
due to my perception that privoxy is kind of a resource-hog...

Interestingly I have ghostery added to firefox. Still with firefox
'facebook.com' was handed over to the https-connection disregarding
what I have set up in /var/adsuck/hosts.small:
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com

But as I have pointed out already this might be because I did s.th.
wrong when setting up adsuck.

Thank you for pointing to those two ways to go!

Have a nice Sunday!

Regards,
STEFAN
