More trackers found in 1 browser than another.

why does ghostery pick up, for example, 4 trackers on at site viewed with Chrome, but 16 (literally) when the identical page is viewed with Firefox. Both ghostery installations are set to block all trackers?

    Hi Jeremy,

    Thanks for using Ghostery!

    Can you send me the URL? Both libraries are up to date and ghostery is active on both? (Not paused or whitelisted?)

    Also let me know the Ghostery version and Firefox and Chrome updates as well.

    Thank you for the speedy reply!

    Chrome Version 37.0.2062.124 m
    ghostery for chrome: 5.4.0

    Firefox: 32.0.2
    ghostery for Firefox: 5.4.0

    the URL is
    http://www.landsend.com/products/mens...#

    in chrome, ghostery reports Facebook, New relic, and Twitter button.

    I have no white-listed sites and am set to block everything. And the site's functionality is broken,

    Buy now I am confused: In Firefox, I was, for unclear reasons, set to block NO trackers, and the site allowed me to buy stuff.
    Now that I block all, only 4 tags are reported as blocked - but not the same 4 as in Chrome: Adobe Tag Manager, Adroit digital solutions, Certona, Coradiant

    AND the site has lost its functionality.

    So why aren't the 16 sites that were present, shown as blocked? Unblocking Tag Manager, now show 10 sites blocked. and the site is STILL broken.

    I am very confused on how I would figure out how to get the site's functionality working.
