+ <p>
+ A long time ago, there was the <a href=
+ "http://www.junkbusters.com/ijb.html" target="_top"><span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span></a>, by Anonymous Coders
+ and <a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/" target="_top">Junkbusters
+ Corporation</a>. This saved many users a lot of pain in the early
+ days of web advertising and user tracking.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 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
+ <span class="APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span> did not.
+ Version 2.0.2, published in 1998, was (and is) the last official <a
+ href="http://www.junkbusters.com/ijbdist.html#release" target=
+ "_top">release</a> available from <a href=
+ "http://www.junkbusters.com" target="_top">Junkbusters
+ Corporation</a>. Fortunately, it had been released under the GNU <a
+ href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html"
+ target="_top">GPL</a>, which allowed further development by others.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Then, some <a href=
+ "http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/copyright.html#AUTHORS" target=
+ "_top">developers</a> picked up the thread, and started turning the
+ software inside out, upside down, and then reassembled it, adding
+ many <a href=
+ "http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/introduction.html#FEATURES"
+ target="_top">new features</a> along the way.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The result of this is <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>,
+ whose first stable version, 3.0, was released August, 2002.
