- A long time ago, there was the Internet Junkbuster, by Anonymous Coders - and Junkbusters - Corporation. This saved many users a lot of pain in the early - days of web advertising and user tracking. -
-- But the web, its protocols and standards, and with it, the - techniques for forcing ads on users, give up autonomy over their - browsing, and for tracking them, keeps evolving. Unfortunately, the - Internet Junkbuster did not. - Version 2.0.2, published in 1998, was (and is) the last official release available from Junkbusters - Corporation. Fortunately, it had been released under the GNU GPL, which allowed further development by others. -
-- So Stefan Waldherr started maintaining an improved version of the - software, to which eventually a number of people contributed - patches. It could already replace banners with a transparent image, - and had a first version of pop-up killing, but it was still very - closely based on the original, with all its limitations, such as - the lack of HTTP/1.1 support, flexible per-site configuration, or - content modification. The last release from this effort was version - 2.0.2-10, published in 2000. -
-- Then, some developers picked up the thread, and started turning the - software inside out, upside down, and then reassembled it, adding - many new features along the way. -
-- The result of this is Privoxy, - whose first stable version, 3.0, was released August, 2002. -

- Privoxy is based in part on code originally developed by - Junkbusters Corp. and Anonymous Coders. -
-- Privoxy heavily relies on Philip Hazel's PCRE. -
-- The code to filter compressed content makes use of zlib which is - written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. -
-- On systems that lack snprintf(), Privoxy is using a version written - by Mark Martinec. On systems that lack strptime(), Privoxy is using - the one from the GNU C Library written by Ulrich Drepper. -
