Ghostery found one tracker (PiwikAnalytics) that PrivacyBadger didn't on the PrivacyBadger page itself.

I'm not sure there's much wrong with using Piwik, as long as it is self-hosted. If using Piwik is bad, then so is using Apache access logs.

This kind of might be. Ideally, anonymous is supposed to mean collecting no data at all.

That's just silly. It's next to impossible to provide good UX without knowing what your customers are doing on your site.

My guitar has superb UX. Are you suggesting it's tracking me? (Oh my!)

Try making an Internet-connected guitar, that, say, downloads its own effects, and see how easy it remains to use.

i stopped using EFF PrivacyBadger after i noticed it automatically adds cookie exceptions to Firefox which makes the SelfDestructingCookies addon useles. This 'bug' is stil not fixed at time of writing btw: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerfirefox/issues/206#is...

So i started using Disconnect instead...
