I hadn't read that; interesting. But note that it only says your data are 
collected if you choose to "support" them, and apparently the data are 
anonymised. Actually, when I looked just now I found that choice made for me 
by default. I've now changed it - thanks for the pointer!

I'll continue to use Ghostery for the moment, as it seems highly effective in 
stopping all manner of intrusions.
