Safari freezes with Ghostery enabled
Safari (6.0.3 on OS X 10.8.3) regularly freezes, leaks memory and hogs the CPU if I enable Ghostery. These problems disappear when I disable it.

Greetings!
Thanks for using Ghostery!
Which version of Ghostery are you running? do you have any other extensions active? When it freezes, is it on certain sites? ones with many videos?Comment -

It's v1.4.1 and, although I do normally run other extensions, I still had this problem after disabling everything except Ghostery. I've decided to leave Ghostery disabled for now, and employ other methods to prevent being tracked.

Hi doonyakka,
Could you describe the problem in more detail please?
How did it come to your attention? Was it particularly bad on certain websites? -

> How did it come to your attention?
It's impossible not to notice Safari freezing up. Reloading all tabs or restarting Safari is the only way to revive it.
> Was it particularly bad on certain websites?
It happens on any site, though it's particularly noticeable when clicking through on Google search results.
As I said, I'm happy to disable Ghostery and avoid this problem altogether. -
