I installed Ghostery just a few days ago, and it is clearly indicated that it is opt-in. I don't see a problem here, looks to me a bit like an attack against Ghostery. But of course, open-source alternative with the same functionality would be better...
I find Ghostery as a good compromise for me; Noscript is too much hassle for a day-to-day use, and I also don't like to use Adblock for "philosophical" reasons. Ghostery does exactly what I think should be done - remove the tracking, since I didn't give permission to anyone to track me.
- byoogle 13y agoIsn't there a big difference between asking users to opt in to "share" their data with Ghostery (which is what Ghostery says) and asking users to opt in to have their data (what data, btw?) "sold" to advertisers (which is what Ghostery does)?
