-
- <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>
