This looks interesting

Hsoi has a link to a place called Ghostery.

It's a download that tracks your trackers and lets you block them.

I wonder what my computer experts think about it?

  3. Opera has a Ghostery extension, just installed it and will let it run for a few days, will let you know how it works.

  4. Well, right off the top, your blogspot account has 5 trackers, Comscore Beacon, Google +1, Google Analytics, Sitemeter and SpecificClick. Comscore shares data with third parties, as does Google Analytics and SpecificClick. You can block trackers in the settings section, not sure how that's going to affect browsing, will play with it some and let you know how it works out.
