I was searching google for a way to block those horrible adsense ads that google ads to video you watch in your browser. So annoying on webcam sites such as blogtv.com and even youtube. Privoxy is free and it works to clean web video ads! Thanks for the article.

Wow! Works great! I have websites that took 10-15 seconds to load due to slow ads loading and now it takes a few seconds. Thanks for the info!

I use AdSweep to get rid of ads in Google Chrome. It works fine. It’s another option.

yes, check the manual about forwarding to another proxy. http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#FORWARDING

Does privoxy work if you’re already behind a proxy server? The only thing that stops me rom using chrome is the lack of addons. If chrome supported all these add ons (a few important ones are adblock plus, down them all, and download helper (for videos)), I’d surely make the switch. Let’s wait and watch whether the people at google figure out how to incorporate an adblock feature into their browser without hurting their ad-revenues and being fair at the same time.

I’ve been dying without my AdBlock, but the auto complete url field made up for it. Now I won’t cry myself to sleep anymore!
