Ghostery also had an incident [1] last month where they exposed e-mail addresses of some users, which I guess adds further doubt to their reliability.

- black_puppydog 8y agowait, why do they need users' emails?
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoThey don't, that's the thing; they wanted to monetize their service, and selling e-mail addresses and user data is one way to do that.
- tinus_hn 8y agoIf you want, you can create an account to ‘sync your ghostery settings’. The username of the account is your email address. The exposure happened because they sent a mail with a lot of people in the CC: field. Amateurish but it happens. The irony is that the mail was to inform you of the privacy changes due to GDPR.
