Is there any web page filtering software available for an Intel Mac, other than BFilter?

ad filtering? Content filtering? What do you need it to do?

I would like to be able to alter code on the web page. I already filter ads, but I want to be able to remove or alter code that does unwanted actions, such as determining whether I have visited certain domains or not.

How would a web page be able to determine what sites you've visited? I don't get it...

They check links for given domains to see if they have been visited by that browser or not. It's possible for websites to effectively query Firefox's viewing history by using :visited in CSS. Now I want a way to filter out that code.

Greasemonkey may be able to do that.

In Firefox you can have your private data (including your history) cleared whenever you quit Firefox. You can also limit how many days worth of history are logged.

I know, but I was thinking it would be nice to cut down the snooping even more. I could do that easily from Windows, with Proxomitron, but I do not know of anything that comes close on an Intel Mac.

I'm guessing that site was hacked. He's talking about the app SurfRabbit for Safari.
See, if you go this page SurfRabbit you can read about it, but clicking Home takes you to the modeling page
