To enhance security, permit optional filtering of:

  • javascript (linked and inline)
  • Browser plugins
  • Redirects (meta and 30* server redirects) with redirect url displayed instead

I appreciate the wish. However, our proxy is a typical HTTP proxy that processes headers but not content, and we can't even do that if it's HTTPS. Parsing and modifying content is far beyond what's sensible or appropriate. It's best done in the user agent (i.e. browser) or its plugins (e.g. noscript) where there's a parsed DOM.

In response, you may say we should ship something similar to Tor Browser, but that's not within the current team's capabilities to develop and package that, and won't ever be.
