Hi,

I am still not sure what benefit this will bring to the IPFire users. What will
it bring to addition of squidGuard and the "URL Filter"?

I know that it can remove ads within the HTML, but as pretty much most of the
websites are encrypted where I think this would be useful, what is the point?

Technically I have nothing against it. I just cannot see where the benefit is to
build and maintain this.
