Do Not Track

My AVG Safe Search Toolbar recently updated and it had the new feature "Do Not Track" which is like Ghostery. What would guys recommend, keep both on (in my thoughts it would cause some kind of conflict?) or just shut "Do Not Track" down?

    We recommend add-ons that are distributed through AMO. Those have been reviewed and approved as conforming with Mozilla's policies. (AVG is not among them.)

    Here are some of the recent complaints about AVG:

    • Bug 774436 - AVG Safe Search Toolbar doesn't reset homepage and search preferences after is it removed
    • Bug 774429 - Blocklist the AVG Safe Search Toolbar
    • Bug 773514 - AVG bypasses Firefox add-on user protections (was: Third-party install page is not shown after a second Firefox restart)
    • Bug 764798 - PeaZip installs AVG Security Toolbar extension without user approval.
    • Bug 746631 - AVG enables Do-Not-Track by default

    (The list continues on from there.)

    If you want to use AVG, you do so at your own risk.
