There's always a modified hosts to stop it before you download it, and the ad-blocking

It's not crashing for anyone on Eurogamer. What it's doing is replacing the ads with a rather intrusive set of text and links that it doesn't seem to be doing with ads on every other site I've tested it with. I was just curious as to why.
Well maybe Mr. T hacked the game, and made a mowhawk class? And maybe Mr. T is pretty handy with computers? Had that occurred to you Mr. Condescending Director?

That's not Privoxy, that's the site. It depends on EXACTLY what Privoxy is blocking.

I've NEVER had Privoxy "crash" on me and I've used it pretty much non-stop for almost two years now, upgrading it along the way.

On Eurogamer it blocks....THE ADS! Which was the point of Privoxy anyway. If it's crashing on you then your machine is doing something out of the ordinary.
On Penny-Arcade with the N800 I've noticed that if you have "fit to width" enabled on any browser (micro-b, opera, OS2008-mozilla) then the blocked ad kind of forces you to scroll a lot, but once you set it to normal page width that problem goes away.
What I do NOT like about the OS2008 browser is that when you set "fit to width" on one window it forces it across all the other web browser windows. OS2007 thankfully didn't do that. Some pages I like "set to width" (forums, etc.) but for most of them I don't.
