I'll start--is Ghostery legit or useful in any way?

>is Ghostery legit or useful in any way?
Also no. It's owned by an advertising company.
Gabriel Cruz
Awesome, thanks.
What's the best adblocker? I've heard great things about uBlock origin, but I've been an ABP user for years.

>decentraleyes
seems like it wants a lot of info for something that's supposed to protect my privacy. It also apears to want to store whatever it wants on my computer. Is this any good?
Christian Nelson
I can't live without Imagus, is it botnet?

It's all you need privacy wise.
Remember to
>check if it's free
>check the business model
>check if the owners have a past of selling data
>check if the product is linked with advertisers

ADB became shit since they use white lists... I stay with ublock. It's quiet good these days. Maybe there is a better alternative?

If you don't thrust them check their source code: github.com

Installed noscript and it basically broke the internet for me. It's very frustrating how many sites require javascript.
Austin Clark
OwO
I use: Decentraleyes, Vimium-FF, Cookie AutoDelete, UserAgent Switcher, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin
Also, if u want something like Ghostery but less kikeish, consider privacy badger. It's got a learning algorithm that figures out shit as you browse with it.
Oliver Lee
The trick is to enable just enough stuff for the site to function and nothing more.
Brandon Howard
I just started using container tabs. Pretty neat you can have certain sites automatically open in certain containers.

You're probably playing dumb but something tells me you actually do need the gui version
Daniel Anderson
holy shit how many fucking Greasemonkey forks there are?
Xavier Peterson
i wish i was playing dumb. Ive got python 3.6 installed, and now feel retarded that i have no idea how to get this to work
John Hill
Like five, but only three are widely used. Violentmonkey if you're an edgelord, Tampermonkey if you're an engineering student or a redneck, and Greasemonkey if you're a neckbeard.
William Walker
Ghostery is snake oil
Dominic Edwards
The people on this board are retarded. disconnect and privacy badger do nothing that ublock orgin cant do with the correct lists.

It stores the requests that websites make to CDNs so you don't get them from Google et al. servers
Zachary Bell

No, it's also related.

Holy shit are you trying to encourage them?
Joshua Davis
Decentraleyes, Facebook Container, HTTPS everywhere, No Coin, Privacy Badger, Start Page, and Ublock Origin Here. Feel pretty good.
Tyler Green
Ghostery is botnet.
Logan Murphy
This desu. I thought people figured that out years ago.

No Coin is bloat since ublock origin uses the same filters and more.
Jose Rodriguez
It works well together, and I don't really have to worry about insufficient protection.

Literally none of the information on that image would require that DDG retain any info on users.
You click an amazon.com link from DDG>Amazon sees that the referer was DDG>you buy shit>Amazon gives DDG a cut
Additionally, your user agent is in your packets that you're sending DDG, and the location they give you is probably based off of your IP address, which is almost always wrong by at least several miles. Just because they can provide you your user agent info, your IP address, and your approximate location when you request it does not mean that they retain that information.
I'm not saying DDG doesn't keep user information because it's really impossible to know, but nothing about that image indicates that they do.
