Ian,

It seems like way too much work for a minimal gain.  Especially
considering most people have
  enable-edit-actions 0
in their privoxy config.


Steven,

Have you tried adding an "unblock.action" actionsfile to privoxy?

I got tired of dealing with adblock hostfile providers that kept
blocking sites I didn't want blocked, so I've got
$ grep '^action' config.txt
actionsfile match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites
and maybe overruled later on.
actionsfile default.action   # Main actions file
actionsfile user.action      # User customizations
actionsfile blocksites.action   # my list of sites to block
actionsfile lightswitch-hosts.action
actionsfile unified-hosts.action
actionsfile unblock.action

unblock.action is listed last and whatever is { -block }'ed in there "wins".
