You cannot be both the Empire and the Republic, unless you want to be a Sith lord.

Sell ghostery-use related data to ad-companies and the add-on will die. There is no middle-ground. Many companies have tried before and all have gone down the drain. Even if any such preference is opt-in, once you go down that road user trust will be gone, however good your reasons and explanations.

    Alright, let me be somewhat more scientific than in my original post. Publicity and user-opinion thereof on the internet has a lot to do with herd intelligence. It is and has been governed by much emotion and not always by logic. It's a very tricky road to try and please both sides and I would be loath to see Ghostery suffer just because you didn't take into account that well-phrased explanations cannot counter pre-conceived opinions and emotions. I'll be watching the development with interest.
