+ <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

+ Junkbusters Corporation. Fortunately, it had been released under the

<p>So Stefan Waldherr started maintaining an improved version of the
software, to which eventually a number of people contributed patches.
<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>
