Youre absolutely correct it IS the principle of the thing  I also was very hopeful that this software would help with transparency and limit tracking  Instead it seems that they want to choose WHO tracks you to the benefit of the advertising partners of Ghostery or whatever the current name of their parent company  They havent been acquired it seems but change their name and explain with doubletalk  Their usage stats are not transparent nor is their business model and when I attempt to to disabledelete their software they act very much like malware  As the man said If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck
