- <p>A long time ago, there was the <span class="APPLICATION">Internet Junkbuster</span>, by Anonymous Coders and
- Junkbusters Corporation. 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 the last official
- release, available from Junkbusters Corporation. 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="https://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="https://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.</p>
- <p>As of 2012 the Junkbusters Corporation's website (http://www.junkbusters.com/) has been shut down, but Privoxy
- is still actively maintained.</p>
