BFilter

BFilter - Smart ad-filtering HTTP proxy

BFilter is a smart filtering HTTP proxy. It removes ads, webbugs, and popups. Unlike the majority of similar tools, it doesn't rely on a list of blocked URLs, but instead parses HTML on the fly, and detects ads using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in JavaScript engine which detects popups and js-generated ads.
