I meant you should use a different domain for static content on your marketing page, and I'm not lamenting anything. Just giving you some advice. Ghostery has been installed over 1 million times just in Chrome. Any one has ghostery installed and is going to your site will see a completely broken webpage.

Why was leobelle being downvoted? I can understand disagreeing with what they were saying. It's an opinion after all. But, what they were saying wasn't that far off base..

Maybe if Ghostery was developed in a half way decent manner it wouldn't have a bad history of breaking sites and would block tracking more intelligently rather than blanket blocks of domains.

Probably because the adverts that are blocked pay for the site. Kind of like asking musicians for zippy share links to their music.

Ghostery isn't an ad blocker, it's an analytics blocker. It's for people that don't want to be tracked on the web.
