In the interest of transparency for our users, we decided to provide some links to help our users check out Ghostery’s source code. Even though we’re not yet open-source (working on it), you can view it here:

Mac:

PC:

Cheerio!

Edited 2/14/13 to clarify our open-source status.

    I guess the links are just screwed up? I would really like to dig through the source… Is there a repository somewhere that people can pull from?
