Blocking Cookies (Score 1)

There is a very cool little perl script called CookieJar which can be run on your host and used as a proxy to block all sorts of web junk, including cookies, Java, Javascript, banner ads in general, AND the infamous BLINK tag.

It can be configured to deny connections to any host or url you want, as well as a load of other things.

I have it running on my P133, with 56Kb dialup line, and there is very little browsing performance drop. I am normally browsing through 3 Netscape windows at a time, and some hosts are a little slow anyway.

The perl script will fork when it reaches a preset level of connections, and uses around 2.4Mb of memory for each process, so it's not small, but does the job very well.
