adzapper project

the goal of adzapper project is to develop OpenSource software that
will allow people to choose whether or not to see ads on the Internet,
and allow people to choose whether to reveal information about
themselves to third parties. this software will include client
software that will run on a user's computer; filtering rules
("zaplets") that the client software uses; and server software that
will allow a website to serve and assist the collaborative development
of filtering rules.

adzapper is an OpenSource filtering proxy that blocks ads from being
downloaded and displayed by your web browser. Instead of ad banners,
you see blank spaces: adzapper transforms the ads into transparent
gifs.

adzapper is written with performance and flexibility in mind-- it's
small and fast, and its filter rules are in site-specific files
("zaplets") that are easy to make and easy to share. adzapper also
comes with many premade zaplets.
