I was thinking of it as something similar to Anonymizer - hence my privacy concerns. Thanks for clearing that up - although I still probably wouldn't use it (I try to keep the number of background programs on my machine to an absolute minimum) I am now making my decision based on the correct information. @Brad

Privoxy runs on your computer and merely an automated go-between for your browser and the internet. Here's a diagram Internet -> [Privoxy -> Chrome] Your PC is enclosed in brackets. You misunderstand. Nothing "goes out" to some remote proxy somewhere. The 'proxy' is YOUR computer. @Steven Pratt - thanks for this guide, it's very helpful and I feel bad for you because a lot of the comments here seem to be from stupid people who are unable to read/comprehend, or are upset for no obvious reason ("OMFG IT'S NOT A PLUG-IN YOU BASTARDS!") when in fact this is even better: plugins are program specific, where as Privoxy can be configured to work with anything at all... including Firefox. It's even BETTER than Adblock in that in blocks requests before they even get to your browser, saving your bandwidth. In short: screw (or f') the haters.

When I try to (via clicking the large yellow box telling me to do so), I am taken to the Java site to download Java V6U11. I dl'ed and installed (even though I have dial-up it didn't take very long), and I still cannot use Java-run apps! I need Java V6U10 Beta, but it is not available to me. If anyone knows how to help, email me, please! :D Thanks! Adam Hey there, I know Google Chrome requires Java Version 6U10 Beta, but I cannot download it!

One comment is that you probably want to use "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" checkbox as well. I only suggest this as I imagine you would not want the proxy messing with any locally developed web sites. imo. Excellent utility and article, seems to work great (not developed with it yet).
