Comment:

 I'm not the original sender but I wanted to update this topic.

 Ghostery, now categorize the list of bugs as: Advertising, Analytics,
 Privacy, Trackers, Widgets

 My suggestion is to block Analytics and Trackers so not the Advertisers.
 Also blocking the biggest companies from widgets specifically like
 Facebook Connect, Google +1, etc.

 This will decrease the whole tracking ability, but mainly there will be
 less load on the network. But maybe I misunderstood, does "the entire
 revenue model" contain the Trackers too? Isn't Tor already an enemy of
 them by hiding the real IP's?
