    Yes, I think that's an excellent suggestion gkweb.

    Any chance Frederic?

    ...maybe with the inverted checkbox indicating an active rule (like in internet filtering, when a rule has applications associated). That would be nice, yes.

    PS. Some minutes ago, I had a complete crash when i had Applications sorted by path and then clicked on the name column to change the sort order. I will see if i can reproduce it...

    I had it again: But it was no crash, just a hang. 100% CPU and then after what seemed a long time (a minute or so), the list was sorted. Maybe it can be sped up? And ignore case in the sorting...

    HTHH,
    Andreas

    Very good suggestion, in this way, it won't add too much "weight" to the GUI and will keep it simple.

    An adblocker that also comprises a proxy server. Now shouldn't these 2 features be kept seperated, according to you?

    Lol, not if that the most common mechaism used by a adblocker .

    How else would you expect an adblocker to work? By magic?

    Actually, I was talking about its IP scrambling feature - it does not belong there and anyways it doesn't even fully work (with it enabled, Steve Gibson's grc.com site still sees through it)...

    probably HTTPS. Most annymous proxies let through so called secured streams.

    And no, I don't think an Ad-block program should necessarily function as a remote proxy in an attempt to hide your ip. That is a again apple and oranges. Using remote proxies always inccur a cost in surfing speed.

    Besides, I've never really cared for that - and apparently you concur also with that point. Anonymous surfing may be fun in the beginning - seeing all the sites report a flase IP as being your real IP - but I've read that it ALWAYS slows down surfing to a crawl, so...so much even for the fun part.

    No, what I've always been looking for is a way to send fully anonymous email (there we go again - April the 1st stuff, etc...) - like an "SMTP equivalent" of anonymous browsing, without having to resort to "paying subscription services".
    Do you or anyone else know of any such app? Freeware, if possible??

    Yes. But proxomitron or most ad blockers work as a local proxy, there shouldn't be much if any reduction in speed.


    Suprisingly many. I can think of 3 ways (by ways i mean methods not software) offhand.

    Web-filtering using Local Proxy technology actually increases the speed, not reduces
