### 1.7 Other HTTP proxies

I started writing Polipo because the weather was bad. But also because I wanted to implement some features that other web proxies don’t have.

• Harvest and Squid: |  | Historic proxies.
• Apache: |  | The web server has a proxy.
• WWWOFFLE: |  | A personal proxy.
• Junkbuster: |  | Get rid of ads.
• Privoxy: |  | Junkbuster on speed.
• Oops: |  | A multithreaded cache.
