Comment:

 Re including Ghostery or Adblock, see point #5 of Philosophy section the
 shiny new TBB design doc:
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#philosophy

 The short answer is we are aiming to make filter-based addons unnecessary
 from a privacy perspective.

 The network load and page load times are compelling points, but I think we
 already have enough social issues with sites dealing with abusive Tor
 users that to declare war on the entire revenue model would not be a good
 thing for Tor blockage, long term.

 I'm going to close this, but if you feel I'm totally wrong for some reason
 and we can't have actual privacy without filters, please feel free to say
 why on this bug.
