Re: Re[2]: Firefox through Tor

I think adblocker and adblocker plus for firefox are WAY easier to use than privoxy. Plus, you can update your list in real time. With privoxy, you have to restart it every time you change the settings.

Why not? It works quite well for me. If the cookie is generated by the
server-side script or is embedded in the page (anyway it comes from
the external world) - it is surely catched by Privoxy. The other way
to get the cookie - if it is generated at the browser-side (_javascript_
etc) then Privoxy knows nothing about it ofcourse (but maybe it is
possible to somehow tune the browser to disallow cookies from
_javascript_s), and the only way is to block java-scripts by url or
disallow JS fully (for some nasty sites at least).
IMHO - for the limited set of sites which one visits regularly it is quite
easy to configure Privoxy to block ads.
