Can you tell me how Ghostery compares to DoNotTrackMe? Does it accomplish the same thing in the same ways? How does it differ from that product?

Thanks. I can't say I've noticed any adware behaviour from DNT but I may have simply not noticed it. I've been running both products concurrently for a couple weeks to see which one catches what. It seems that Ghostery is first in the order of execution but I've noticed a few misses.

One other thing, when visiting trackers first-party, browsing twitter for example (I don't have a twitter account) ghostery doesn't report any tracker but DNT still claims to be blocking twitter from tracking me. Is it possible to add an option to block trackers even when accessing them first-party? I'd use that option for certain sites.
