I wonder what the viability of setting up a subscription service proxy that mobile users (and others) could point their mobile phones to that strips out all the dreck? I know there are VPS offerings that do this. Webhosting companies do offer unlimited bandwidth, so theoretically, bandwidth is not a problem.

That is a good question. I would not use such a service because of the trust problems with secure communication.

Mmmmh, but I could use a proxy on my own server, through which I route my VPN traffic anyway. Of course, such a proxy product must be light-weight and easy to use. It should be a proxy that I can trust - OSS or self-written. It should enrich a page with a button which sends me to a block configuration for that domain - like that one you would get from a adblock plugin.... git init... ;)
