Battle Difference Between Ghostery and Disconnect

what is the difference between Ghostery and Disconnect. And which one is better according to you and why it is better

How is Ghostery different from AdBlock Plus, Disconnect, DoNotTrackMe, etc?
Ghostery focuses on transparency, education, and privacy over content blocking. Other than that, the biggest difference is the size of the data collection library. Check out areweprivateyet.com for an open-source comparative study of these tools.

So expect if Ghostery miss some trackers caused the difference where subscription based but the effectivity of blocking is good.

jeevan_500, The chart from the link http://www.areweprivateyet.com/ provided by jamescv7 (from the boxed quote above) is also what I've based my personal use of Ghostery upon. Yes, it's published by Ghostery and thus leans positively toward Ghostery. If you do choose Ghostery consider this advice from FAQs: "..choose “Block new elements by default” in the “Auto Update” section".

Ghostery allows for tweaking while Disconnect is essentially set and leave it.

I do like both, and have Disconnect installed on my wife's Firefox browser beside NoScript. Enthusiasts and written praise of Disconnect (by Disconnect) claim it works better. They both (imho) work well.
Finally, Ghostery blocks cookies in Firefox (unlike Chrome). Try them both (separately) or by disabling one while using the other, and you be the judge.

BTW, nice thread subject!

I've used both, Disconnect is my fav blocker... it's lighter and you wont notice it, great app.

Ghostery does really well too, if not better at times, but uses a bit more RAM and seems more aware of itself.
