Ghostery for Opera with Opera AdBlock and Facebook Blocker - conflicts/issues?

Does Ghostery for Opera play nice with Opera AdBlock (with Fanboy's Ad Blocking + Tracking List) and Facebook Blocker? Any conflicts or other quirks I should know about if I have all three installed?

    Hi taff,

    Ghostery uses Opera's content blocking system for blocking third-party page elements (bugs), if Ghostery's blocking is enabled.

    Opera's content blocking doesn't communicate back to Ghostery, which means Ghostery could misrepresent what got blocked and what didn't in certain situations.

    For example, if you disabled content blocking for a particular site through Opera's site content blocking preferences, Ghostery won't know about this and will report whatever bugs were found on the site and marked to be blocked as blocked, even though no blocking took place.

    Similarly, if another Opera extension uses Opera content blocking and blocks something that Ghostery also tracks, Ghostery will continue to report what it thinks happened, and not what really took place.

    If you encounter any other problems, please let us know.
