WebWasher has been around for a while, though it's now gone freeware for

private users. We covermounted it recently (stop booing out there) and got

a good response from readers. People have been impressed with the way it

works, although the set-up has confused a lot of people (local proxy

servers, etc.).


It's not the fact that it removes ad banners that people go for,

necessarily. It's that it can speed up browsing by cutting out unecessary

downloads.
