I've never seen a good reason for per-user ad blocking. If it's an ad, I
want it blocked and I'm not clear on why anyone wouldn't. On the rare
occasions when there is a false positive, privoxy has a link right in its
block page for "go there anyway". If it's a false negative, it should be
added, of course.
As for adding stuff easily, I have an /etc/privoxy/adblock.action file
separate from any other action files (and referenced in /etc/privoxy/config).
It's very simple:
{+block }
.247realmedia.com
.2o7.net
.adbrite.com
.adbureau.net
[ 90 more lines ]
/(.*/)?adv/.*
/(.*/)?ads/
/(.*/)?adx/.*
When I run across a new ad server, I edit the file (sudoedit, actually,
though I don't think there is any reason it couldn't be user-owned) and add
another domain or pattern. I don't even have to restart privoxy, since it
is smart enough to reread changed config files.
