Summary: hotmail is not functional

Initial Comment:
As already reported https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3413827&group_id=11118&atid=460288  hotmail is not functional if privoxy is used in chromium, opera 

When clicking in category on the left, no action follow.
For example, clicking on Inbox, no email is ever shown.

Note to developper:
Why do you ask a complicated process to user, when it is just a mattter of creating a hotmail account ? (see the link above where the bug was already reported in september and nothing has been done since ?)
Why do you ask for something instead of doing it ?

Message:
Privoxy development team is rather small so we do not have the resources to
investigate compatibility issues like this which, as Ian already mentioned,
aren't actually bugs in Privoxy itself.

Providing a log file is rather easy, so if it's not worth the user's time,
the issue at hand can't be that important.

I'm closing this request as a duplicate, feel free to contribute the

An addendum; I also had to unblock .doubleclick.net for Hotmail to work
effectively.

Message:
This is not a bug per se. Hotmail's functionality depends upon Javascript
code sourced from the domain wlxrs.com, which gets blocked by Privoxy's
default rules.

To re-enable Hotmail you should add an item to your user.actions file that
allows this domain through. In my config I have:

.wlxrs.com (note the preceding . is important) is set -block,
-crunch-incoming-cookies, -crunch-outgoing-cookies, -fast-redirects,
-filter, -hide-referrer, -prevent-compression

No doubt this is overkill - it would probably work with fewer -parameters;
I leave it to you to experiment.

I do not wish to get into a flame war here, but you have to admit your tone
is quite rude. It is entirely reasonable for the developer to ask for a log
file to assist in identifying the cause of this issue; he donates his time
to this project for free and it would be only reasonable to expect users of
the software to do the same if they would like to see an issue resolved.
