Thank you for what you doing, you are great :3

This is a great addon for privacy, and people, who make it, so nice. I was looking for where I can make donate, and find out that i can only turn on GhostRank - but i had already turned it on before, so i just come to say thank you and to post cat.

    Ditto!

    CBS 60 Minutes just did a segment on "data brokers" and online privacy and trackers. They never mentioned software like Ghostery, but it did motivate me to review and enhance my ghostery usage. I just did "Select All" in options. Hope pages don't break. It will be interesting to see what happens to my browsing now.

    They had a follow-up segment online, which ironically had 23 trackers on the page that I had to whitelist to view the podcast :-( (maybe it was adblock whitelist that did it. Not sure which sequence was responsible for podcast working)

    I also use Firefox adblocker (lite), so I think a lot of the crap is blocked before Ghostery gets to it.

    And I use Firefox 12.0 and I am not upgrading, so hope all is well with this combo.

      Firefox 12.0 has publicly-known critical security vulnerabilities and it is dangerous to continue using, regardless of any other measures you take. You're putting youself at risk unnecessarily by not upgrading to a supported version.
