A new plugin for Chrome, Firefox, and a future version for Internet Explorer

Have a search for PrivDog

Made by Comodo - Its included in their version of Chrome, Dragon

Also available from its dedicated website as a separate installer

It does pretty much the same as Ghostery, but has a few more tricks

Comodo have launched AdTrustMedia to support it ( Malvertisement blocking / replacement with clean ads )

Anything that can't be achieved using Adblock Plus and RequestPolicy?

I dont use them so couldn't tell you.

Here have a read what Melih has to say https://forums.comodo.com/news-announce ... 84.15.html

Same people who now own Ghostery ( I think it used to be 'Better Advertising' when David Cancel sold Ghostery to them )

.. Possibly another reason you may want to have a look at replacing Ghostery with PrivDog.

I don't use Ghostery. I tried it out briefly, a long time ago. But I'm pretty sure that RequestPolicy makes it redundant. I know Guardian still uses it, but only as a defence-in-depth measure.

But others might find PrivDog useful; thanks for bringing it up.

If only RequestPolicy were an option for Chrome forks, I might have used it.

( There is a variation of it out there, but its not the same as the original in its capabilities - Same as there are pretenders to the throne of NoScript for Chrome .. But no where near as effective as the original ) ..

I am pretty sure a fair bit of what RequestPolicy does is also done by PrivDog. So no need really.

The only thing I would love back for Chrome forks is NoScript, but we need to be patient on that score
