Proximodo acts as a mediator between the browser and the website. It “sees” everything that is going on and, according to your choices, modifies headers and html page content on-the-fly to make things right. You don’t want pop-ups and banners? Just activate the corresponding filters and they will disappear. You want cookies to be deleted when you close your browser? Proximodo will do it for you. You want a fast navigation in the pages you already visited? Page caching will be forced.
Basically, Proximodo is a clone of a great piece of software called The Proxomitron, developed by Scott R. Lemmon. Now that for sad reasons Proxomitron is unmaintained, I started this project to carry on the idea. Though a few Proxomitron features are still missing in Proximodo (mainly SSL support) the essential is already there: 100% of Proxomitron filters will run under Proximodo (plus there is a menu to import your custom Proxomitron filters).
Proximodo currently comes with default Proxomitron filters, which can do quite a lot of different things. But you can write your own filters, using a powerful syntax that, despite its seeming complexity, is quite easy to use and master.
Proximodo currently offers the same features as Proxomitron, with a few differences.
What is has more:
Multilingual GUIMultiplatform (thanks to wxWidgets and no use of Windows specific libraries)Centralized bank of filter: Proxomitron’s .cfg files are replaced by mere enumerations of active filters, i.e “Configurations”Export/Import filters from/to clipboard (no more need to mess with .txt files)
What it has less (for the time being):
SSL support“Add to list” in tray iconHTML debug infoURL commands
