Since it was last year sometime that proxomitron stopped being
supported it's probably about time to move onto something else (as
suggested by the author).

Illogical conclusion
Why "move on" to something still in development, and be their guinea
pig, when Proxo is perfectly OK?
If a novel style of ad or popup presentation comes on the scene, and
finds a backwards compatibility to my existing browser, then it might be
time to refine Proxo, or move on, but until (unlikely) that ever
happens, I'll just let Proxo keep whacking those annoyances for me.

Perhaps. OTOH, Proxo's "life expectancy" is greatly enhanced by
its flexibility. I should have mentioned that I had to come up
w/ a new regex for a different recent exploit.
BTW, I thought that the author's "time to move onto something
else" was reference to self.

Seems to me such stuff (within reason) is totally on-topic here. I,
for one, would like to see some discussion on proxo's settings and
flexibility in connection with enhancing browser security. I know some
users rave about it.
Why not post some info (with details for users) on this?

I haven't a bad word to say about proxomitron. I was referring to
http://www.proxomitron.org which suggests that since proxomitron "is
well and truly dead..." "you may want to try these other web filtering
programs..."
Personally, I switched to privoxy a few months back and am quite happy
with it. I don't know whether it has more or less features though. I'm
too lazy to find out. I'm just following the author's advice.

Not sure why it's illogical since I was only quoting a few words from
www.proxomitron.org
No problem with that.
Is this persistence with unsupported operating systems and software an
Art'n'Bart thing?

Hmm, I like what read on their page: "Filters apply to anything
in the page source, including HTML tags, and JavaScript. Regular
expressions are used to accomplish this."
Thanks for the tip.

Sure. What'd be a good way/form to start?

A conclusion is deemed illogical or not, on its intrinsic merits,
not the source, even if subsequently quoted by a well meaning chap.
No problem with that.

Nope, as far as I know, many folk see no need to "move on" to the latest
and (sometimes not) greatest, that has to have hand holding support
while the glitches are shaken out.
It's not like Art nor myself are trying to impress a future boss to land
that killer job, or trying to woo some date to the prom by sporting the
latest fadware.
FWIW: I do have XP-Pro on another machine with IE/OE as the only HTML
rendering application, I don't say browser because I would never connect
that thing to the internet.
