keeping privoxy from filtering certain websites

Hello,

Im running privoxy on ubuntu nad I have a problem w/ chromium. about half the times i google something i immediately get a page cannot be displayed before it even tries to load the page. in order to keep this from happening I have to bypass the proxy just to google, then turn it back on. Can I add something to the config files to bypass filtering on google? if so, what file does it go in? global.action?

Let me start off by saying I don't use a proxy. That being said.......

Sound to me like you have a proxy issues and you should be more concerned about figuring out the problem then bypassing it. What you are doing is like trying to patch a leak in a dam with a piece of gum. Sooner or later it's going to break.

Have you looked at the proxy logs to try and figure out why things are not working?

I know and understand the risks/advantages of proxy usage. I just want to know how to keep Privoxy from filtering certain websites. I want to keep it from filtering certain websites that I really dont need to go through a proxy.
