RE: Is AdBlock Plus needed to filter everything Proxo misses?
I think the text that he copied/pasted was the reg-ex filters in ABP, and I can see several different domains mentioned, such as Google, PCWorld, Clickability, etc.

One thing that's important to note is the community-bases behind ABP and Proxomitron. Proxomitron's is dwarfed by ABP's, which has many contributors and testers.

Needless to say, I will continue using Proxomitron and try to contribute as much as possible to the community. This being said, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed: Sidki, whenever, lnminente, bugger, ProxRocks, Oddysey, jp10558, Toppy, and to all other active members.

Sidki and Grypen have accomplished many feats that exceed ABP's ability to merely filter ads. Some of these include spoofing the Google cookie to remove the persistent ID, "taming" JavaScript by manipulating dangerous functions, etc. If one just wants to focus on the removal of ads, ABP should be sufficient. If one wants to shift their focus to include all other aspects of the Internet, JavaScript, cookies, HTTP headers, then Proxomitron (or a similar program) is needed.
