adblock2privoxy VS lagrange

All you're asking is already possible with Privoxy[1], which is even stronger than a browser adblocker. It's a very old software: it used to be unmaintained and lacking some essential features, but thankfully the development resumed and is now fully fuctional again with the modern web.

It can be used as an adblocker based on domain, request path, HTTP headers, etc, but it can do much more. It can redirect requests (for example, replacing assets from a CDN with a local cache), modify headers (stripping or making cookies temporary, changing user agent, etc.) and even rewrite the content of web pages using regular expressions or any external program.

By default, it has only a basic configuration that blocks tracking and ads, but there are tools[2] that convert adblock rules to the Privoxy format, so it will be functionally equivalent to adblock.

It acts as a CONNECT proxy, so you can run it locally or on a router and if combined with a NAT rule, it can also work transparently (obviously, you need to manually trust a CA certificate for https).

I've proposed such solution in Lagrange feature request. What do you think?

Using a terminal, the old lynx browser is probably the most widely available and user-friendly client.

If you want a GUI, Skyjake's Lagrange browswer is beautiful and available for Linux, Mac, and Windows: https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

Lagrange is sort of the Netscape of Gemini. It works on all the major desktop and mobile OSes. Personally prefer Elaho (iOS) or Buran (Android) for mobile

So for the uninitiated like myself,

this is hosted on Github at:

https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

And is a client for a new internet protocol that is "heavier than Gopher, but lighter than the web". Discussed here:

https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

I'd start by checking out Antenna:

https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/warmedal.se/~antenna/

It's an aggregator of sorts, but with a bit of a twist.

Clients, for the terminal I recommend Amfora

and Lagrange is a great GUI client

Communication, there's an informal way of addressing other gemlogs using 'RE: '. It's fraught with issues, as I have discussed. There's IRC (#gemini on tilde.chat) and Usenet (comp.infosystems.gemini) now that the mailing list (itself a potent source of drama) has gone to the great bitbucket in the sky.<p><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Re-re-re-considered-harmful.gmi" rel="nofollow">https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux...</a>
