So Ghostery has an option to remove chunks of the DOM that it thinks have been added by Disqus, in an attempt to stop Disqus from tracking you. It's not clear to me that this would actually stop Disqus from tracking you, because by this point you've already loaded Disqus's JavaScript; and it's certainly not clear to me how it would protect you better than just blocking the Disqus JavaScript from loading, which would also have the advantage of not breaking the non-Disqus related parts of pages.
