Oh wow, step away from the Internet for an evening and this happens. Yes, I am a Ghostery developer. Here is what Ghostery has to say about this non-story: http://purplebox.ghostery.com/?p=1016023438 http://purplebox.ghostery.com/?p=1016023438 Regarding Disconnect's openness, take a look at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firefox/content/services-firefox.js https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firef... That's Disconnect's master tracking list. I'd say it bears an uncanny resemblance to Ghostery's tracker library, but then I'd be breaking all sorts laws tampering with encryption.[1] Please feel free to browse Ghostery's source code. All our extensions[2] are zips of unobfuscated JavaScript. -- [1] Nice take on the old "disable right-clicking on images". Not so nice to take tracker definitions from competitors and then brag about having the biggest library. [2] IE is a bit special, as always, but that's out of our control for now (http://crossrider.com http://crossrider.com).
