Heh, it may not sell it to ad agencies, but it sure sends data back to them.

DNTMe is probably the worst choice to use for tracking protection, heres a study we have on the topic http://www.areweprivateyet.com

Aah. I see this website is by Ghostery itself. Anyway, what makes you say DNTMe is probably the worst choice? I use it along with ABP, and in the cases I have observed so far (few hours), both Disconnect and DNTMe block almost the same things. Of course, Disconnect.me mentions a very big number but it is just the number of requests and not the actual number of 'trackers' blocked. I'm still doing more experiments, but so far both are almost the same. And the numbers Disconnect shows are buggy - they are sometimes different when you expand their sections.

And yes, still not going to use Ghostery. :)
