 101         <p>
 102           A long time ago, there was the <a href=
 103           "http://www.junkbusters.com/ijb.html" target="_top"><span class=
 104           "APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span></a>, by Anonymous Coders
 105           and <a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/" target="_top">Junkbusters
 106           Corporation</a>. This saved many users a lot of pain in the early
 107           days of web advertising and user tracking.
 108         </p>
 109         <p>
 110           But the web, its protocols and standards, and with it, the
 111           techniques for forcing ads on users, give up autonomy over their
 112           browsing, and for tracking them, keeps evolving. Unfortunately, the
 113           <span class="APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span> did not.
 114           Version 2.0.2, published in 1998, was (and is) the last official <a
 115           href="http://www.junkbusters.com/ijbdist.html#release" target=
 116           "_top">release</a> available from <a href=
 117           "http://www.junkbusters.com" target="_top">Junkbusters
 118           Corporation</a>. Fortunately, it had been released under the GNU <a
 119           href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html"
 120           target="_top">GPL</a>, which allowed further development by others.
 121         </p>
 122         <p>
 123           So Stefan Waldherr started maintaining an improved version of the
 124           software, to which eventually a number of people contributed
 125           patches. It could already replace banners with a transparent image,
 126           and had a first version of pop-up killing, but it was still very
 127           closely based on the original, with all its limitations, such as
 128           the lack of HTTP/1.1 support, flexible per-site configuration, or
 129           content modification. The last release from this effort was version
 130           2.0.2-10, published in 2000.
 131         </p>
 132         <p>
 133           Then, some <a href=
 134           "http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/copyright.html#AUTHORS" target=
 135           "_top">developers</a> picked up the thread, and started turning the
 136           software inside out, upside down, and then reassembled it, adding
 137           many <a href=
 138           "http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/introduction.html#FEATURES"
 139           target="_top">new features</a> along the way.
 140         </p>
 141         <p>
 142           The result of this is <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>,
 143           whose first stable version, 3.0, was released August, 2002.

 259           Privoxy is based in part on code originally developed by
 260           Junkbusters Corp. and Anonymous Coders.
 261         </p>
 262         <p>
 263           Privoxy heavily relies on Philip Hazel's PCRE.
 264         </p>
 265         <p>
 266           The code to filter compressed content makes use of zlib which is

 269         <p>
 270           On systems that lack snprintf(), Privoxy is using a version written
 271           by Mark Martinec. On systems that lack strptime(), Privoxy is using
 272           the one from the GNU C Library written by Ulrich Drepper.
