I kept using ghostery because I didn't know of any alternative and sometimes I can't install adsuck. (which is is better than a huge hosts file. An oversized hosts file can have a negative impact on DNS and overall network responsiveness).

Thanks for disconnect.me, I'll give it a shot :)

how many hosts entries would you say it is before the negative impact is significant? 20? 100?
