I did, with Firefox' adblock on top of the two. I haven't seen a nasty web ad in years. And I quit using squid because I didn't need the huge cache it was building (I'm the only one on this system, and I didn't think the caching was worth the disk space). For just ad blocking, though, privoxy is a marvel -- it's the only ad filter on my iPad.

I never noticed any difference in speed with just squid, just privoxy, or with both of them in serial.
