I've used Proxomitron, and have nothing but good things to say about it

Except that it is no longer supported and the author recommends
switching to an alternative like privoxy.

thanks for the remark. i'll look at that.

also upthread comment about resources is good point. i've noticed proxo
loads fast, but i asssume load time is not necessarly a tight indicator
resource use?

also a good hosts updating software/system is necessary, else hosts gets
full of 'dead' entries.

and proxo will block all kinds of things, from sites I *want* to visit ( can
i assume privoxy is equal or better at this multitude of miscellaneous
tasks?)

It's very configurable but imho a bit complicated. Typical of a unix
style configuration file.
