Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering + capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing + cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other + obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very + flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and + tastes. Privoxy has application for both + stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
Privoxy is based on the code of the + Internet Junkbuster (tm). + Junkbuster was originally written by JunkBusters + Corporation, and was released as free open-source software under the GNU GPL. + Stefan Waldherr made many improvements, and started the SourceForge project + to continue development.
Privoxy continues the + Junkbuster tradition, but adds many + refinements, enhancements and new features.

Privoxy is evolved, and derived from, + the Internet Junkbuster, with many + improvments and enhancements over the original.
Junkbuster was originally written by Anonymous + Coders and Junkbuster's + Corporation, and was released as free open-source software under the + GNU GPL. Stefan + Waldherr made many improvements, and started the SourceForge project + Privoxy to rekindle development. There are now several active + developers contributing. The last stable release of + Junkbuster was v2.0.2, which has now + grown whiskers ;-).
