adzapper filtering proxy

adzapper is a filtering proxy that can block ads from being displayed on your web browser. instead of ad banners, you see blank spaces: adzapper transforms the ads into transparent gifs.

the rules that describe what are ads and what are not ads are called "zaplets", and are configurable on a per-website basis. this way, when websites change their ads or their graphic design, it is easy to build and share new zaplets that block the ads.

Platforms

adzapper has been tested on Linux (RedHat 6.0) and Windows NT 4.0 (SP3), and it should work on Windows 95/98 as well as on any Unix platform that Python runs on.
