Thanks! Good feedback. The numbers indicate requests (as in HTTP requests) attempted by the tracking companies. Green (or checked) indicates the requests were

  Ghostery has the option to block all trackers at once in a big list with 1490 trackers. Disconnect 2 doesn't provide this option, does that mean that all the known trackers are blocked by default? Some pages I visit show 100+ requests but when I enter the add-on it only shows 2 advertising attempts and maybe 1 analytics request. Where do these other hundred requests come from and were they effectively blocked from communicating with its third-party provider? Disconnect 2 basically replaces HTTPS Everywhere, which I find nice.

    We saved you a click. :-) Disconnect blocks (2,000+ tracking sites) by default. The number of requests in the dropdown menu should add up to the number of requests in the toolbar counter (we do group requests by company, which Ghostery doesn't do, so you will see less rows in Disconnect's UI if that's what you mean). Do you have a site where the two aren't equal?

      The only thing I would like to do is block certain trackers manually. For example "geoplugin.com" is enabled by default in Disconnect while I can block it manually in Ghostery. And I became used to not seeing google +1's and tumblr share buttons etc. Isn't there the possibilty to block them even before I visit a page? Right now I need to disable them via the disconnect UI and the page needs to reload.
