  91
  92       <p>A long time ago, there was the <a href=
  93       "http://www.junkbusters.com/ijb.html" target="_top"><span class=
  94       "APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span></a>, by Anonymous Coders and
  95       <a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/" target="_top">Junkbusters
  96       Corporation</a>. This saved many users a lot of pain in the early days
  97       of web advertising and user tracking.</p>
  98
  99       <p>But the web, its protocols and standards, and with it, the
 100       techniques for forcing ads on users, give up autonomy over their
 101       browsing, and for tracking them, keeps evolving. Unfortunately, the
 102       <span class="APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span> did not. Version
 103       2.0.2, published in 1998, was (and is) the last official <a href=
 104       "http://www.junkbusters.com/ijbdist.html#release" target=
 105       "_top">release</a> available from <a href="http://www.junkbusters.com"
 106       target="_top">Junkbusters Corporation</a>. Fortunately, it had been
 107       released under the GNU <a href=
 108       "http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html" target=
 109       "_top">GPL</a>, which allowed further development by others.</p>
 110
 111       <p>So Stefan Waldherr started maintaining an improved version of the
 112       software, to which eventually a number of people contributed patches.
 113       It could already replace banners with a transparent image, and had a
 114       first version of pop-up killing, but it was still very closely based on
 115       the original, with all its limitations, such as the lack of HTTP/1.1
 116       support, flexible per-site configuration, or content modification. The
 117       last release from this effort was version 2.0.2-10, published in
 118       2000.</p>
 119
 120       <p>Then, some <a href=
 121       "http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/copyright.html#AUTHORS" target=
 122       "_top">developers</a> picked up the thread, and started turning the
 123       software inside out, upside down, and then reassembled it, adding many
 124       <a href="http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/introduction.html#FEATURES"
 125       target="_top">new features</a> along the way.</p>
 126
 127       <p>The result of this is <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>,
 128       whose first stable version, 3.0, was released August, 2002.</p>
