Browser Configuration
Important! If you ever decide to remove BFilter, you will have to undo
the changes you are going to make, or your browser will stop working. If you
feel uncomfortable about it, I suggest you to install another browser such as
Firefox or
Opera (both are free),
and don't touch your main browser's configuration.
Mac OS X
On Mac OS X, you are not supposed to change your system-wide proxy settings. BFilter's installer duplicates your network profiles and configures those duplicates to use BFilter. To start using BFilter, just switch to a network profile prefixed with "(BF)".Some programs (Firefox, Opera) don't use system-wide proxy settings, providing their own proxy configuration. To make such programs use BFilter, you need to manually configure their proxy settings, just like you would under Windows or Linux.
