Ghostery does it well too.


Still use it as well myself but http://disconnect.me/ is similar and fully FLOSS whereas Ghostery is sorta weird and proprietary and actually helps the ad tracking biz


Ughh, Ghostery isn't FLOSS, but that does not make the code invisible, many places where you can see it like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/vers... or ghostery.com/ghosteries/chrome/

And there is this: http://www.areweprivateyet.com


Would be interesting if http://www.areweprivateyet.com would test against more Adblock lists.. rather than a select few.


I use disconnect too, after I found that Ghostery had some weird clashes with other plugins. CPU thrashing around at 100% for minutes kinda clashes :(


For reference, I actually use Disconnect and Ghostery and DoNotTrackMe and NoScript and RequestPolicy.
