- <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.
