Ghostery should encourage blocking all bugs by default
Just a small thing really. Setting up Ghostery is pretty straightforward, but it's very easy to miss adding all the bugs to the blocked list because when you select the Enable Blocking setting it conditions you to think that all the bugs are blocked automatically, of course they aren't. Can I suggest that if blocking is enabled then immediately an option is offered to block all bugs to reduce the opportunity for people to believe they are protected when they're not.

Ok, so perhaps you could offer the choice of doing so and explain why this may not always allow web sites to behave as expected. I prefer to see things break and then selectively fix them but I can see why not everyone would do that.

I wish blocking was fully enabled **by default**. I don't allow local storage of any flavor on my computers (no cookies, no dbs, etc) and having to wade through your setup process each time I relaunch the browser gets tedious.

Why not enable all blocking by default? It's why people get the extension.... -

Just been pushed into this topic.
It's not obvious AT ALL on the first setup page that you're not blocking anything yet. I really think there should be a "SKIP SETUP AND BLOCK ALL" option at the bottom of the first setup screen, much as the initial user requested. How hard can it be?
I spent the last couple months thinking I was blocking everything before I finally realized that the damn blocking is off by default. At the very least, you should have some sort of status on the setup itself saying "0 items currently being blocked". Preferably in red type or some other attention getting font/style. -
