Ghostery is owned by a company that has ties to ad networks. I am, by principle, opposed to ads in Web content, so I want to use a product that loathes the idea as much as I do.

I have the right to browse the Internet without being tracked, my data sold without my permissions, have targeted ads delivered my way, you name it.

I've often thought about setting up a colo proxy server for people that strips out all ads, beacons, tracking cookies, you name it -- and give it away for free. With cheap hosting and unlimited bandwidth, this could be a good thing.
