+ <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>
