I'd personally love to see an option for any streaming video/chat widgets to display the usual popup (perhaps with an icon of either video or chat, etc). Trying to figure out what is being blocked by ghostery is a bit tedious on pages that have 11 blocks, etc (even with 2+ can be annoying as I still have to check what is blocking the video from playing, etc)
OR have these separated into their own respective lists at least (video / Chat)
That said, I LOVE Ghostery...it's a MUST have for me.
Most recent example site (had to unblock "5min media"):

Hi Phil, thanks for using Ghostery.
The functionality for click2play is coming in the next release of Ghostery and will point out the content it blocks in a visual way. I will add support for 5min Media video player in it.
click2play is basically a visual way for the user to know that Ghostery has blocked certain elements that are visual, for example disqus powered comments, of birghtcove videos. -

Looks good. Good idea the way it's showing on the page itself (maybe the background of that note could be slightly blueish so it stands out more? Especially if looking at a long page and scrolling, etc).
One suggestion I would make to have it clear is adding Icons to the left of what it's blocking (both in the purple popup and the ghostery dropdown list of blockable items)....
[video icon] 5min media
[facebook icon] Facebook Social Plugins
[Chat icon] Disqus
Just so we can quickly see what the listed element is referring to.-
The icons are a neat idea ... Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh yes please. Great idea! Because I sometimes check ghostery and it lists 9+ blocks and I have to check the "What is ..." to see what's what. Icons would save so much time.
Great plugin Dev team! -
