Re: Not only with Chrome either.

I changed to using Ghostery, after DoNotTrackMe decided it needed read + write access to my (desktop) system's network settings. (Like wf!?)

Asked Albine why it needed those permissions, and their spokesperson did the bullshit "have you tried turning it off/on again" type of no-answer "there's no problem here" routine. :(

Then contacted Ars Technica... to point out the problem... and no response there.

So, it's interesting to know I wasn't wrong about something going rogue there.
