web advertising and user tracking.</P

forcing ads on users, give up autonomy over their browsing, and
for tracking them, keeps evolving. Unfortunately, the <SPAN

Fortunately, it had been released under the GNU

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

<A

picked up the thread, and started turning the software inside out, upside down,
and then reassembled it, adding many

stable version, 3.0, was released August, 2002.
