Hello,
One thing to keep in mind if you use tools like AdBlock Plus or Ghostery is that they may not be completely configured at installation for maximum blocking.
AdBlock Plus has an option labeled “Allow some non-intrusive advertising.” If this is enabled, than this rather long list of hosts is not blocked.
Likewise, if you enable “GhostRank” in Ghostery, information about what you encounter while surfing the web is sent to Ghostery. Ghostery claims this is anonymized and used for statistical purposes only, but it is still sent. You can disable the GhostRank option if you want, though.
