The best scenario for using privoxy I have found were complining it '--with-compression' option and setting on my private VPN server that my iPhone had been connecting to.
There was a site with stock quotes that I have been refreshing hundreds times a day so I set privoxy to strip all unnecessary crap like ads, javascript, some gifs etc. and then compress. From 2MB of original HTML page size I went down to 15kB. Times hundred times a day - it had saved me a lot of mobile data.
