After 1 minute on my modem (2016)

Re:After 1 minute on my modem (2016) by mntmn on Saturday January 14, 2017 @05:07AM (#13397758)

This reminds me: Since a while I'm looking for a good configurable proxy solution to clean up/filter the web on my server especially for browsing via old devices (Amiga and such). So I would like to reduce website to their content, stripping all CSS, background images, scripts and such. Any recommendations?

Privoxy (https://www.privoxy.org/):

I'm from Bangladesh, my connection is ~256 kbps and my pc is slow (256 RAM and 1.6 ghz), if not by privoxy, i couldn't browse internet.

Squid can do this easily. Just setup an acl that blocks requests for file extensions you don't want.

  acl Blocked_extensions urlpath_regex -i "/etc/squid3/blocked.extensions.acl"
  http_access deny Blocked_extensions

The contents of /etc/squid3/blocked.extensions.acl would be something like:

  \.css$
  \.css\?.*$
  \.js$
  \.js\?.*$
  \.woff$
  \.woff\?.*$
  \.eot$
  \.eot\?.*$
  \.svg$
  \.svg\?.*$

It's also easy to run squid in transparent proxy mode if you want to support older devices that don't let you manually specify a proxy.
