How is this different from Ghostery? (https://www.ghostery.com/ https://www.ghostery.com/)

  I use Ghostery, but I believe it has been chided in the past for its 'GhostRank' feature (which, to their credit, isn't on by default). This is anonymous usage tracking of the trackers encountered which is sold to businesses to "help them market to consumers more transparently, better manage their web properties and comply with privacy standards." I would like to see more of a comparison of 'effectiveness' of both extensions though, if such a thing were possible.

    The other issue with Ghostery is that it doesn't block by default and you even need to go to advanced settings to tell it to block new trackers by default.

      OK so after you turn off GhostRank and block all new trackers by default, how is it different?
