I saw that. Me too. But I think it is enabled by default? Once again many ppl won’t know this. So the data is used without their knowledge/consent. It’s wrong and misleading. Yes you need to Q such apps but not all ppl do.
Also note: Help Support Ghostery by sending anonymous statistical data back to Ghostery HQ. As if LOL!
Indeed I think it is enabled by default however when you install Ghostery it will open the initial settings set-up and if you go through it (which it is made for) then you should see that option. I don’t think it’s misleading as the option says what it is doing, however if it’s wrong or not can be debated, personally I don’t label things right or wrong since there are no actual guidelines for these, just personal opinions.
The data can still be anonymous, statistics doesn’t need to be personally identifiable.
Edit: Either way we have PrivDog now ;D (although not for all browsers sadly)
Hmm not that I know of, which in my opinion is a d**k move of them, however when something says it will collect my data (like the option in Ghostery) I always assume that it won’t stay there, whether they give it to someone else or sell it.
Indeed, however after going back to Google Chrome I kinda like it, mostly because of the extension “Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller” oh man it feels good scrolling.
However I do miss some things, like the built-in e-mail client and the feature that asks you when sites are trying to save cookies etc. Oh and Chrome is a great deal faster on showing sites and more sites actually work correctly!
I do realise this topic was created because PrivDog was originally released with Dragon, but considering the content of this topic I have now moved it to the Help - PrivDog section.
Comodo devs must develop a privdog add-on for Firefox. Maybe I just want Privdog only my Firefox or my dragon… and I think an add-on can reach lots of people ;D
Here in comodo forum Disconnect and Ghostery found google analytics and block it, while PD didn’t detect anything ?
Block all Ad Networks in PD is turned on.
Can you clarify more on this ?
I think ABP is not the case why PD is not blocking google analytics.
Maybe by PD google analytics is OK, so it doesn’t block it !
This is just a thought not a claim
