Nice one, that means that Privoxy can be used locally (apt-get install
privoxy on the phone) and it can also be set to forward to a socks proxy
(for example a ssh tunnel or tor):

- http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#SOCKS

I'll try to have time to play with this over the next few days and write
a wiki page on how to set it up -- the inability to use a proxy or to
block ads is a bit of a blocker for using the browser on the phone for
me. 

All the best

Chris
