[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1710452, member: 204485"] My assumption was that after clearing my history and browsing data and setting Ghostery to "block all" (no whitelisted sites) the only tracker remaining would be Google. So I opened this page in Epic and here I am, Epic tells me it's blocking eight trackers, oops, correction, now it's eleven. So unless there is some flaw in my reasoning I can only conclude that Ghostery does not block everything, despite it's maximum setting. Perhapes I should not expect it to so I also turned on Adblock and that blocked a further seven trackers. And Epic now says; We found 8 data collectors in Chrome tracking, saving and often selling your browsing. Epic does seem to be reflecting the changes I make so it's hard to beleive it's not pretty accurate. I did not intend to swap to Epic as my default browser but I'm beginning to wonder if it's not such a bad idea. I will still use Chrome, tinker with the Ghostery settings and whitelist the sites I want in both Ghostery and Adblock but unless I need the many features of Chrome for a specific purpose using Epic for email links might just be a good idea.
