Firefox is an awesome Browser platform. Its not perfect out of the box, and most certainly Mozilla doesnt care to remove proprietary tracking addons from their store. Lets gather some more addons that you should not install!

      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

        Since July 2018, with version 8.2, Ghostery shows advertisements of its own to users

        Damn. I’m a bit surprised it’s labeled “recommended”

        Is there a general recommendation for a similar addon? Is PrivacyBadger the way to go?
