Morty

Web content sanitizer proxy as a service

Morty rewrites web pages to exclude malicious HTML tags and attributes. It also replaces external resource references to prevent third party information leaks.

The main goal of morty is to provide a result proxy for searx, but it can be used as a standalone sanitizer service too.

Features:

HTML sanitization
Rewrites HTML/CSS external references to locals
JavaScript blocking
No Cookies forwarded
No Referrers
No Caching/Etag
Supports GET/POST forms
Optional HMAC URL verifier key to prevent service abuse
