Google +1 Chrome extension tracks https traffic

This is why I use ghostery (http://www.ghostery.com/) with Firefox to prevent these sort of things from tracking my online behaviour.

Looks great. I will try that later.

For now, I'm using "disconnect" - downloaded it, read the whole sources and installed it from a local directory. That's my level of paranoia right now.

Does that work with the Chrome Google+ addon? Because Ghostery would prevent it from contacting home...

Would love to use Ghostery or something similar for Chrome. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link. Has anyone tried this and the Disconnect extension and can share how they compare?

Haven't tried Disconnect, but use Ghostery and see no need for anything else.
