1. Cross-compile privoxy and set it up
2. Add the rules (to global.actions): "{+filter{all-popups}}"
3. In the config, make it forward all requests to amazon (fints-g7g.amazon.com:80)
4. In /opt/amazon/config/ServerConfig.conf, make the kindle use localhost:8118 as the proxy instead of fints-g7g.amazon.com.

It works, but I have no idea how it impacts battery life and/or performance. (Privoxy is designed to be small, so it shouldn't be that bad). Also, you get to block ads as an added bonus.
can you post arm version privoxy binary file ?
thanks a lot.

The debian armel binary works fine on the kindle.

If you are not familiar with the debian package management system, you could go to packages.debian.org, search for the package you want (armel platform, usually the oldstable ones provide the best compatibility with the kindle), download the deb, unpack it with ar, unpack data.tar.gz, and copy the binary. The debian privoxy binary depends on libpcre.so.3 and libpcreposix.so.3, so get those too from their deb. It also depends on libpthread and libz, but the ones preinstalled on the kindle work fine.

/lib/ld-linux.so.3 --list ./privoxy on the kindle shows if all shared libraries were found.

Are there any tutorials available on that topic? I am a windows user so I don't have any idea how to use debian packages on Kindle. I've searched this forum but I haven't been able to find any information for noobs.

I had a package made, but I've decided against releasing it because I found that it can easily be abused into doing bad things if the wrong people get ahold of it.

So tutorial for noobs on how to use debian packages on Kindle may be used for bad things? If so, I won't ask again, because I'm still enjoying my 3G and I would hate it if Amazon removed this feature.

Although not being able to open some links because they have "target=_blank" is really annoying.

Does it work with WiFi? No potential for abuse there...

No, it's not the debian packaging that could be abusive, it's privoxy.

Currently, I'm looking for a way to extend Kindle's java. Maybe get it to run an AOP framework or something so we can modify the framework directly.

What with the solution involving neftaly's ReadibilityMod? I've read that it requires httpd to run properly and that httpd is part of USBNetwork hack. But the readme included in USBNetwork warns me that I should not use it if I don't know what I'm doing. And I most certainly don't. Are there any tutorials available which can help me with that solution?

For me it doesn't work. I have jailbreak installed on my Kindle 3G and other hacks, such as ScreenSavers hack, work just fine.

For me it worked with the httpd, but that seemed like too much of a burden.

Then I tried just copying those modded .js files over those in /usr/local/share/browser/readability (or sometjing like that). When I now switch to Article Mode, the links open just fine. I have also modified the scripts further so that in Gmail, only the links are cleaned and I can read the attachemnts in various formats through the View in HTML link.

yifanlu, didnt your parents teach you to share?

All data goes through amazons proxy, so no "abuse" or whatever can really happen. Explain.

You can get privoxy from optware:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118472

also, ServerConfig.conf is found in:
/opt/amazon/ebook/config

heres a pastie of it:
