Hard to say since I turned Java off (hint hint) but looking through the stuff I can see it filtering, I see that it works really well. There is a log window that you can use to see what filters are triggered, and there even a 'debug' mode that show what prox tried, where. Now on the stuff that killing java doesn't eliminate, like some kinds of banners etc. it works really well. You can also use it to change / eliminate anything on web pages. Hate frames? Etc. I created a bunch of filters myself to eliminate things that wern't in the default filter list. I also daisy chain it thru webwasher but that's just me.
