It's an alternative approach to a browser plugin to block ads and other stuff.

Is it going to be a replacement of privoxy?

Oh, interesting. I didn't know that existed! Pretty similar idea. Mine's more focused on content blocking than specifically privacy. This should also work cross platform since its all written in go. (I've used it on windows, mac, and linux) If there's enough interest, I could polish this into a more complete product. I've been meaning to do a rewrite done right based on this prototype but need some motivation/reason to improve something that's "good enough" for me personally blocking ads and cruft while reading the news.

Fantastic work! What's the license?

I need to add one (tonight perhaps), but its basically: do what you want, but if it breaks it's not my fault. I'm just flattered if anyone finds it useful.
