It just occurred to me that Privoxy does some Javascript filtering. I had a bad time 
searching their documentation, only found a reference to "taming" the code, whatever that 
means.

+filter{js-annoyances}       # Get rid of particularly annoying JavaScript abuse

Does anybody know what the filter above does? Could privoxy be used to provide some 
level of protection for evil Javascript code? Maybe it´s too much to ask from Privoxy but 
disabling Javascript altogether really breaks some sites.

thanks
