For a Ghostery implementation within a company, it is a lot of work to install the Firefox Add-on for each user. Especially when there is already a proxy server in use, a second proxy server can easily be chained.
For that reason I wish there will also be a Ghostery proxy server.
Ghostery as proxy server, not as browser add-on/extension

1Hi toerned,
Ghostery is a privacy extension made to inform and provide granular controls over third-party page elements.
Ghostery is not meant to be a block-all solution, and Ghostery is not meant to be a behind-the-scenes solution.
We plan on adding more and more site-specific functionality, such as allowing a "bug" only on specific pages, letting users know of potentially unintended consequences of blocking (for example, blocking Facebook Connect on facebook.com breaks Facebook apps), and so on. This means more and more direct interaction between browser windows and Ghostery.
As such, Ghostery is a poor match for the proxy server model.Comment -

1Questions about "corporate deployment" or "enterprise deployment" are best directed Mozilla's way, since they'd pertain to all Firefox extensions, not just Ghostery.
There's a major limitation inherent in just about every proxy-based solution: it won't work for content delivered via HTTPS.

Excited for this idea
Would it be possible to make a system-wide Ghostery that will block bugs in any browser or app?
This would be beyond awesome!

How about a Ghostery program that can take over all the browsers installed in one computer? It would also be great that Ghostery could actually mess with the HOSTS files on the different OSs that people use...
