Thank you Melih! Ghostery is now history. Hey I’m a poet!

Thanks again.

Not yet. Ghostery is on the official Mozilla addons list, while PrivDog is not. It also has a stronger marketing and PrivDog is almost in oblivion.

I’ve learnt about it only a couple of days ago, and before that I had no clue, and I know things.

Spread the word first. Than Ghostery is history. Maybe.

P.S. In case you want a fresh XPI, I’ve just extracted one. August, 2014. Ver. 2.2.0.14. Get it here:

It is our job to protect your from 2 things

1)Malvertising (malware being distributed via ads)
2)Irrelevant advertising

We take this responsibility so very seriously.
You should see the huge development effort underway to make this happen for our users! Its huge!!

IMHO, I do not think solely browser addons (xpi’s, crx’s, etc) are what is required.
The browser is only a portion of the system that connects to the outside world and even a smaller portion when talking specific browsers.
There is little advantage in protecting individual system components, but rather protection for the system as a whole.
Protection needs to be system wide as with your other security/anti-malware components/programs and I imagine PrivDog’s Developer’s to be seeing this as the main avenue for protecting all users in the future.

Just my thoughts.

How about making that new application also capable of blocking big lists like used for tools like Peerblock?

You only need PrivDog.

PrivDog protects you from more threats.

Ghostery is owned by a company called Evidon (evidon.com).

PrivDog is owned by me Our DNA is about protecting our users. We are trying to protect our users from any and every privacy issue and Advertising is a threat vector that must be managed. Of course we have to do this without hurting the environment.

For any site that is trying to track you and mess around with your privacy your own Privacy Dog (PrivDog) will first Bark, then Bite…and to finish it off…■■■ on the site!!!

I never read threads; I react to the title of the thread; I’m a posting fool.

I use Win2003 R2, CIS v5.12.256249.2599, Ice Dragon v26.0.0.2 + PrivDog v2.2.0.14 + NoScript v2.6.6.8.36

The synergy betwixt CIS, Ice Dragon, PrivDog + NoScript is exquisite.

My perspective is that NoScript blocks all JavaScript from interweb pages otherwise unallowed, while PrivDog interdicts potential malicious use of cookies on pages that are explicitly allowed by NoScript.

Firebox NoScript add-on will 100% block all potential malicious JavaScript and thereby prevent virtually all drive-by downloads, but 99% of netsites functionality will be broken likewise.

Allowing JavaScript to execute on a trusted-site by site basis - per NoScript - backstopped by PrivDog’s interdiction of potentially malicious use of cookies (for privacy invasion), is the epitome of multi-layered dictum of network security.
