Ghostery's game seems to be tricking users into sending their data to Evidon. Going off the company's own numbers, something like 45% of Ghostery users send Evidon data (by comparison, only 2% of Firefox users share data through Telemetry).

Ghostery's default setting is to disable submitting data. You have to explicity opt-in. How is that tricking?

I was interested in your project but your smearing of 'competitors' with FUD is seriously disconcerting.
