Why Gosthery?
Ghostery started out great, then they were bought by an ad company. There was a feature where you could mark something that had slipped past Ghostery as an ad, which they then used to fine tune the ads to make it past the filter.
The Wikipedia page is actually pretty good on this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery
Is there a general recommendation for a similar addon? Is PrivacyBadger the way to go?
uBlock Origin?
Damn. I’m a bit surprised it’s labeled “recommended”
