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
