Descriptions taken from the debian packages:

Package: junkbuster
Version: 2.0.2-0.2
Description: The Internet Junkbuster!
 Junkbuster is an instrumentable proxy that filters the HTTP stream
 between web servers and browsers. It can prevent ads and other
 unwanted junk from appearing in your web browser.

Package: privoxy
Version: 2.9.14-beta-4
Description: Privacy enhancing HTTP Proxy
 Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for
 protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing cookies,
 controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other
 obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration
 and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy
 has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
 .
 Privoxy is based on the code of the Internet Junkbuster. Junkbuster
 was originally written by JunkBusters Corporation, and was released
 as free open-source software under the GNU GPL. Stefan Waldherr made
 many improvements, and started the SourceForge project to continue
 development. Several other developers are now contributing.

With best regards
