  I recently tried to switch from Ghostery to Disconnect. It was basically a wash in terms of frequency of broken pages. However two things did bother me a little: - The default settings had Disconnect fighting with HTTPS Everywhere and caused resource contention in Chrome. Please follow the Unix philosophy and just recommend users install HTTPS Everywhere instead of having a naive implementation embedded in your unrelated product. - It was unintuitive that the number incremented on the button is the total number of requests and not the number of requests blocked. I look forward to the days that these types of extensions work well enough that I can install them on my parents computers and not have to worry about pages being broken, but them still having their privacy. Keep up the good work.

    When you say 'it was basically a wash', it is not clear what you mean. Which one breaks more pages?

      I think it means that there is no clear winner, they both break about the same number of pages.

      I didn't think that this would be so hard to find: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wash http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wash n. 13. Informal An activity, action, or enterprise that yields neither marked gain nor marked loss: "[The company] doesn't do badly. That is, it's a wash" (Harper's).

        Thanks, I don't use this phrase, so it was confusing.
