#2One thing this shows is just how powerful Facebook could become/already is.
When they connect the dots online and offline of billion user's buying information and habits they essentially can electronically understand who you are better than you do, and can predict what you'll do even better.
Just food for thought.

Oh I'm sure governments around the world have been thinking quite hard about that.

Agree, ghostery is the first thing I install (Safari/Chrome -- don't use Firefox). Only issue, a couple of banking sites I use don't play well with it. On those occasions, pause, reload, do action, reenable ghostery. I only wish Pause was on a per-tab basis.

Which is why online privacy protection laws are so important for legislatures to pass.

Likewise.
I have found that I don't need both Ghostery and an ad blocker - simply having Ghostery block the trackers will block the vast majority of ads, and the ones that don't get blocked are inoffensive and/or actually interesting.

You can whitelist websites in the main preferences, it's a tab in the "trackers" section.

You can disable specific trackers on specific sites - e.g. unblock Google Analytics on your banking site, or Disqus on a favourite blog, rather than having to temporarily disable the whole extension browser-wide.
