- ForHackernews 11y agoGhostery, at least, already does a pretty good job (IMHO) of this: https://www.ghostery.com/en/faq#q5-general https://www.ghostery.com/en/faq#q5-general
- makeitsuckless 11y agoThe article suggests Ghostery sends data anyway. Also, the non-denial denial in the next FAQ item (https://www.ghostery.com/en/faq#q6-general https://www.ghostery.com/en/faq#q6-general) sets off all kinds of alarm bells.
- ForHackernews 11y agoHuh? How is that a non-denial denial? The question is "How do I know that's all you collect?" and the answer is "You can verify it yourself by examining the source code."
