Hi Lee, thx.
My IP is my least concern. No, I don't need to hide my IP by using Tor etc.
I just want to block all ads and all the spying trackers inside the HTML,
as well a solution for the said HTML and JS queries about my system
that can serve as a unique identifier for all the other sites one visits.

I'm sure these companies and agencies are commercially exchanging
all the data they collect about the system and the person behind it.

And: goverment spying its citzens by installing a trojan is becoming
more and more a big problem in this f*cking Orwellian #1 EU country :-(
I suspect they somehow install it remotely via the normal HTML traffic.
Such web filtering plus firewall filtering could possibly prevent it I think & 
hope.
Don't get me wrong: I really don't have anything to hide, but I don't
want to be a victim of such totalitarian police state methods.
IMO, most of the leading western countries nowadays have become a
"land of confusion, lies, and oppression"... :-(

This is indeed very interessting! I'll definitely try it.
I guess the user will get a https-warning, but I can live with that since I 
know the reason is local, home-made.

Thx & Regards
