> Ghostery works for the advertisement industry by building profile of blocked ads to allow them to tweak the ads so you don't want to block them.

From the wikipage and the copy I have installed, it look like only if you enable Ghost Rank. (And as ways to use data goes I can think of worse things than making ads less annoying.)

Yeah, just turn off the "acceptable ads" too.

I used to leave them on, until I learned that they were paid for.
