Sounds cool. I always "wonder" about companies like this with "cost-free" programs/software. Who pays 'em?

I'd imagine it helps with preventing SOME tracking. It's pretty much like closing the gate after the cows are not only gone, but have died from old age. And it's entirely possible that ghostery could be used for nefarious reasons just as easily.
