I've been watching this thread with some interest and as the Talk of mis-onfigured browsers and mis-behaving plug-ins grew I found myself thinking that there must be an easier way to fix the problem. It occured to me that what is needed (at least until a more permenant solution can be found) is a way to stop the offending material from making it to a potentially misconfigured application. So I started thinking about another proxy in the chain to strip all java and java script etc.. it then occured to me that Privoxy can most likely do this if a much more strict action file were written. so my questions are: 1 - Can a modified actions file be made that would strip all Java/javascript, flash, steaming media, etc. From looking at the Privoxy documentation it looks possible so far (but I'm no privoxy guru) 2 - If 1 is possible wouldn't it be easiest to include the stricter action file in the tor/privoxy/vidalia bundle. Tell people "look, a lot of stuff isn't going to fly.. but trust us.. you don't want it too" Just wondering....
