privoxy in the next release?

[Hudson Delbert J Contr 61 CS/SCBN]

can't speak for everyone but i think its better placed as an option.
i have web enabled apps that actually use popus within the app and adblock
has
to be told to let these in. i suspect that a large set of browsers/surfers
would not have a clue to make this work and should not have to.
this is unix not m$ so we should not be setting up the security policy.
that is a job for that firms admins and corp folks.

Wouldn't including the Adblock plugin for Firefox by default be a better
way? It is a lot easier for users to use than Privoxy (which pretty much
requires editing match lists by hand if I remember correctly).
