+
+      <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.</p>
