Is squid the right software for you?

I was thinking along the lines of something that would filter hijacked
sites, control popups, content checking, etc..

Filter what? Privoxy does a reasonable job on ads. Squid has acls and a bunch of other stuff that you config yourself. And they can run in serial...

With squid you can filter hijacked sites. But I wonder if any server
side software can control popups. I think that they are blocked by
client side software.

Seconded. Privoxy chained with squid make a good combination. There are
plenty of tutorials on the web to help you set it up.

Another vote for privoxy. You can configure it to block whatever you like
based on URL pattern or HTTP headers (e.g. Content-Type), not to mention
blocking just cookies, rewriting content (e.g. adding or removing
autocomplete="off" in form tags), etc. I think there is even a facility to
block images based on dimensions, though I haven't played with it.

Unless you need the caching, though, I don't see much value in adding squid
to the mix. I've been using privoxy alone for years with great success.

I use Proxomitron in Windows, and it kills pop ups. While it is really a
client side proxy, it can be used in a server too, and works like a server.

You attempt things that you do not even plan because of your extreme
stupidity.
