Hi Ghostery people. We’ve had a few questions about how Ghostery interacts with Collusion over the past few months, so we figured we’d give everyone a quick update. Krutika, one of our awesome Ghostery engineers, did a little research. She used the below sample entry from our tracker database to test different the browsers...
First, thanks to everyone that voted for Ghosty’s costume. It was a close race, but in the end Vampire Ghosty wound up being the winner. Here he is! Just kidding, just kidding. BOO! Or should we say… BLEAHHH!
We’re going to dress Ghosty up for All Hallows’ Evening. Last year he was a pirate. What do you want him to be this year? Voice your vote!

The time has come again, Ghostery for Firefox users, when you must rally together and help us find bugs in our software. Well…...
