I see a lot of you are using Ghostery, which I've never even downloaded because they get paid to whitelist and are run by ad executives. Is there a reason why I would want Ghostery in addition to Noscript, or is all of the (privacy-protecting) functionality redundant?
This news makes me happy to see there's a point to me having Google Analytics blocked the last two years. I've noticed a new thing, Google tag manager, lately. Any point in whitelisting this? Anyone know what it does?
Heh, Ghostery is not paid to whitelist anyone, I would know since I run the database for Ghostery.
As to your question: NoScript does a different thing -- it concentrates on limiting known security issues by disabling Javscript. Tracking is accomplished in a variety of ways, and only some of them are Javascript based. Ghostery looks for all of these and lets users know who is tracking them on any given web page.
