Install it as a .deb and point your browser to it
Configured in the Debian package as a localhost access only thinger. PERFECT for what you want.
localhost:3128

Should I put it before or after privoxy?
I'm thinking point the browser at squid, and squid at privoxy, that way squid will be caching something that's already been sanitized. Sound right?

I dropped Privoxy. Adblock + Flashblock works very well.
AFAIK, Privoxy still does stupid things like [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=185843|this]. [link|http://adblock.mozdev.org/|Adblock] and [link|http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation.html|Flashblock] don't seem to cause me problems like Privoxy did.
Why do you use it? TIA.
[edit:] typo in Subject.
Cheers, Scott.

Inertia
I've used it since it was Junkbuster. It always did well enough that I didn't see the need to change. Will look at the two you mentioned.
[edit]
Just looked at adblock. One thing privoxy has is you can keep your rules up-to-date with the list they maintain. Decentralizes the arms race with the ad merchants.
It also handles header re-writing, javascript and cookie controls, lots of stuff besides just the images.

There is another plugin
That keeps a second list for adblock updated anytime you want. I use it, it is awesome.
[link|https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136|Adblock.Filterset.G updater].
It freakin ROCKS.
It also can do javascript blocking as well. Pretty much any "defineable seperate URL object" can be blocked.
There are GREAT extensions for the cookies and javascript as well. Squid supports you putting any headers you want removed and added. Those being replacements as well.
I used to used something like "Infernal Nutscraper build 69" as the User Agent replacement for everyone at home.
I'd put squid ahead of privoxy if you are doing it right. Otherwise squid will miss much stuff that is should cache.

"Ahead" in which direction?
So you're saying browser --> privoxy --> squid --> inet?
If I use adblock plus the updater plugin, does privoxy become redundant?

Filterset was updated yesterday... Nice!
[link|http://www.pierceive.com/filtersetg/2005-10-10a.txt|Filterset.G] regex... I am impressed with the general command length saving skills, and forms of the regex. Nice.
I for one welcome our new regex Overlord.
