New Update Ghostery updates

[Parkinsond]

I have been watching YT vidoes of free fonts.
uBOL on the max mode has failed to stop ads, while Ghostery did.

I have found the culprit; uBO filter lists were not enabled; everything works just fine wihtout, except YT.

In my opinion, Ghostery is also outperforming uBOL in terms of privacy prevention by better blocking trackers as well as pop-up ads.

Summary​

• Global Privacy Control: Your GPC opt-out is now exposed to websites through the JavaScript API.
