Ghostery doesn't break "lots of sites". This is one of possibly two or three pages I've noticed in the last year that have been broken by Ghostery. That's hardly an epidemic. (But perhaps this is an issue of sampling.)
Given Ghostery's popularity, I would almost venture to blame the website for this unintended behavior, not the plugin--even if they're keeping to standards and good behavior.
- CatMtKing 13y agoIs this due to JavaScript blocking? I mean, the whole premise of using AngularJS is that the client is executing JS..
- ehsanu1 13y agoIt's blocking tracking scripts/pixels/etc. If a site's JS happens to rely on some external tracker having been loaded, it can break the site. I think that's what's usually happening here. Moral of the story: don't rely on external scripts people.
- rhizome 13y agoI think the moral is more that if you're not going to let them track you however they want and using whoever they want, they'd rather not have you as a visitor.
- ehsanu1 13y agoI've noticed many sites that have failed load a video or something similar due to Ghostery, but it has been happening much less after the last major update. It's usually not as drastic as stripping all CSS of course, just breakage that seems like a bug on the site, until you realize you should try again after pausing Ghostery.
