Polipo is a web proxy that is significantly faster than both Privoxy
and Squid, and does work well with tor.

You will find a description of Polipo and a link to the manual on

  http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/

If you use Polipo rather than Privoxy, be aware that Polipo does no
application-layer scrubbing by default, and can optionally perform
only scrubbing of headers.  If you don't understand this paragraph,
please stick to Privoxy[1].

Note that the stable version of Polipo doesn't support tor; you'll
need to use the latest beta.  This means that you might (or might not)
encounter crashes, you might (or might not) have security issues, and
you will (or will not) send me helpful bug reports.  This warranty is
void in case of nuclear conflict, whether caused by Polipo or not.

If you are under Unix (Linux, BSD Unix, Mac OS X, etc.), you will need
to grab the sources of the latest beta and compile it yourself,
e.g. by doing

  darcs get http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/repos/polipo/

or, if you don't have Darcs,

  wget -r -l1 http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/repos/polipo/

If you're under Windows, I've put an experimental Windows binary (one
that is believed to be fully functional) on

  http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/polipo/polipo-20060920.exe
  http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/polipo/polipo-20060920.exe.asc

Once you got yourself a binary suitable for your platform, run Polipo
as so:

  ./polipo socksParentProxy=localhost:9050

and point your browser at the proxy on http://localhost:8123/

Your feedback is very much needed, especially if you are a Windows
user.  Please write to polipo-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Enjoy,

[1] My previous comments about the Via header are now obsolete --
    Polipo no longer uses Via by default.
