|
|
|
|
<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>

<p>Privoxy is based in part on code originally developed by Junkbusters
|
|
Corp. and Anonymous Coders.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Privoxy heavily relies on Philip Hazel's PCRE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The code to filter compressed content makes use of zlib which is
|
|
written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On systems that lack snprintf(), Privoxy is using a version written
|
|
by Mark Martinec. On systems that lack strptime(), Privoxy is using the
|
|
one from the GNU C Library written by Ulrich Drepper.</p>
