Poper Blocker vs Privoxy

Poper Blocker blocks pop-ups, overlays, ads, cookie banners, and other intrusive page elements through a browser extension and mobile apps. Users can whitelist sites and adjust settings to choose what the blocker handles. Listed ad features include YouTube, banner, and social media ad blocking, while tracker protection targets scripts that send data to advertisers and third parties. Its cookie tool hides notices and automatically rejects cookies. Poper Blocker lists support for major browsers on desktop and mobile, plus Android and iOS apps and a Safari extension for iPhone, iPad, and Mac Safari. It can be used alongside other ad blockers, which may handle display and banner ads while Poper Blocker handles pop-ups. The Free plan is free, forever, with no registration required. Pro annual is $1.59 a year, billed yearly ($19.08/year); Pro monthly is $4.79 a month; Lifetime is $39.95, paid once. Paid plans list social media and web-wide ad blocking and tracker blocking. The privacy policy says browsing activity, including visited URLs, may be processed.

Privoxy is free, non-caching web proxy software for privacy controls, access rules, and changes to HTTP headers and web pages. It can modify page text, remove banners and web bugs, filter HTML annoyances, and inspect HTTPS requests and responses. A browser-based configuration and control utility includes rule tracing and remote toggling, and Privoxy can be chained with other proxies. It can serve multiple clients across a network or as a LAN gateway. The software runs on Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Haiku, BSD variants, Solaris, and other Unix systems. It is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 or later, with a free plan listed at free. A basic configuration is included with a new installation, but many advanced features need to be enabled. Privoxy handles HTTP and HTTPS proxying; it does not handle FTP, SMTP, instant messaging, IRC, or ICQ. It is not designed as a malware-removal tool, and the default setup does not filter malware. The project says it lacks trusted build infrastructure; individual project members or external contributors build and upload binary packages.
