it is not free?
edit: Apparently it is free. Your website is incredible confusing and misleading. I read through it, saw the "Pay what you want" bit. Entered 0$ but nothing happened, no new button or something. So I assumed it was not available for free. I also did not see what browsers were supported.
I only found out that it works for Firefox on Github. That is also where I saw the GPL. And then I got curious what the "Get Disconnect" button might have done so I returned and clicked. And to my surprise it gave me an extension installation prompt...
The UI of the extension is completely opaque to me. What is "secure Wi-Fi"? I am not using Wi-Fi. What means "secure search"? No mouseover tips and https://disconnect.me/d2/help https://disconnect.me/d2/help helps me nothing. I am not even sure what the things are that page talks about.
What are the Facebook, Google+ and Twitter counters/buttons for? I am not using those sites and I thought your extension would block their tracking. Why does it reload the current page if I click on those buttons?
I loaded a random page. There is a 8 on the DM icon but if I extend the dropdown it just shows 1 Analytics item. In the list that item has a ticked checkmark. Does that mean it is allowed? I do not want that tracker allowed. I thought you blocked automatically?
Please consider having a feature stop and work on the UI next. Right now I could not recommend this to my most technically versed friends because I am not understanding it myself.

- alexbel 13y agoAgree. I've been using ghostery for couple years. I've installed disconnect and tried to compare with ghostery. Disconnect does not remove counters from the page. At least, it doesn't remove google-analitics scripts. With ghostery enabled(default settings) it disappeared from source html code. Also, Disconnect has very confusing interface. There is content section with number which constantly counting allowed requests to trackers as I understood. Why? I installed this plugin to be not tracked or load any third-parties scripts. I was very excited about new (for me) Disconnect plugin, but not now. Can't recommend as well.
