use Growl!!
The "alert bubbles" should be handled via Growl, not on the browser screen.

Hi vgoklani,
Growl is an operating system-level application. Ghostery for Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari is a pure browser extension with no operating system-specific components. Do you know of any other browser extensions that use Growl?Comment -

Alert bubbles belong in an alert bubble interface, they look ridiculous on the upper right corner. Ultimately I think it should be the users choice. Do you have "hooks" to send messages to growl?

Browser extensions can't directly integrate with Growl.
In any case, it doesn't seem that desktop notifications are a good match for an alert that's only applicable to the active browser window. Ghostery's alerts are only useful as seen over the page you are currently on.
You can configure the alert's corner position or disable alerts entirely in Ghostery's options. -

If my platform-independent "syslog" idea
were implemented, there wouldn't be anything stopping someone from constructing a "shim" for Growl (or whatever the equivalent is where you are, e.g. libnotify on GNOME desktops).
Ever since Growl switched to exclusive distribution through the Mac App Store, and given a non-zero price tag, I do not advocate its installation by end users, and see no reason to integrate its framework into any application — unless, of course, the Growl Team pays for placement (share the wealth, baby!). While I find the concept intriguing, Growl specifically is a dead end.
