Setup: Gentoo linux OS on squid and privoxy home lan server

I'm not running an html server, just trying to use squid and privoxy
for my own browsing.
I'm attempting to get started with squid and privoxy. So far using
nearly original config files in both cases.
First I tried just using privoxy without squid and that seemed to work
OK.
I set the privoxy listen-address in /etc/privoxy/config like:
listen-address 192.168.0.2:8118
(The address of a gmane box on the lan)
I was not able to access gmail thru a firefox gadget but could get
gmail directly alright. But other than that, No real noticeable
change in browsing speed as against NO proxy at all.
I then used this website to help setup squid:
https://www.antagonism.org/web/squid-proxy.shtml
And did the things suggested there.
Chaining in this direction:
Browser -> Squid -> Privoxy -> Privoxy's IP -> Public Internet
Adding squid into the mix... I Added these two lines to the end of
squid.conf:
cache_peer 192.168.0.2 parent 8118 0 default no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange
never_direct allow all
And uncommented these lines in squid.conf:
acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/24 # RFC1918 possible internal network
header_access From deny all
header_access Referer deny all
header_access Server deny all
header_access User-Agent deny all
header_access WWW-Authenticate deny all
I kind of doubt you actually want these two above.
The first hides your browser from website (okay so you *might* want that
one) which will make many of teh modern browser sniffing websites simply
not work.
The second blocks website authentication from working. It is a manual
process by you whether you let the browser login in the first place.
Preventing you from ever choosing Yes to that seems a bit extreme.
NOTE: with Squid-3.1 these are also split into request_header_access and
reply_header_access directives.
Run "squid -k parse" to see if there are any other easily detectable
bad problems in the config.
