Ghostery = 'souled-out' & inferior vs. hosts
Can ghostery do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. malicious sites (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get you by a dns blocking
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on anything webbound (e.g. stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily controlled data
16.) Block ads more efficiently in cpu + memory use vs. addons* ANSWER ="NO" to each on Ghostery doing all that let alone as well as hosts do!
APK
P.S.=> Addons do FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):
Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
---
Addons add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).
---
ClarityRay DETECTS browser addons like Ghostery & blocks them (not hosts) via native browser methods.
---
What's better than ghostery by FAR?

Re:Computer fraud ...
When even "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" got them LAUGHED OUT OF COURT & more than just once.
Also - Hey - Guess what (which YOU of all people help me prove no less)?
I've got something a LOT better in terms of abilities since it does FAR MORE for users in added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity vs. INFERIOR slower browser addons, many of which SOLD-OUT to advertisers no less, YET IT CONSUMES FAR LESS RESOURCES too

Which unlike OTHER "so-called 'security-solutions'" it SPEEDS YOU UP 2 ways:
1.) Adblocking - A major source of infection by malware ala -> http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... & -> http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... which also gains you tremendous speed back (ads = up to 50% of major websites' pages & blocking ads gets it back)
&
2.) Hardcoding favorite websites @ the TOP of a hosts file - that's where you spend MOST OF YOUR TIME ONLINE, like 95++% most likely!
(Which aids reliability vs. DNS redirect poisoning & being downed which ALSO ADDS SPEED since you do resolutions locally from RAM vs. calling out to remote more-than-potentially bushwhacked slower DNS servers).
APK
P.S.=> It gets its data from 10 reputable sources in the security community vs. malicious sites, phish/spam, ads, trackers, etc. which are update frequently!
You can choose to:
1.) Use "the latest/greatest data" (smaller dataset & more current, like antivirus "normal settings" work)
OR
2.) Build up your custom hosts file data up for PROTECTION LONG-TERM by accumulating it daily adding to previous blocking data vs. threats online (almost like antivirus does "heuristic 'high-power' scanning" when set to do so, with larger & older than most current datasets in use for scanning vs. threats)...
It works for more speed, security, reliability + anonymity online!
(... & does FAR MORE for FAR LESS resource consumption from a SINGLE FILE YOU ALREADY NATIVELY HAVE BUILT-IN to your OS & IP stack (it operates in kernelmode, far faster than usermode addons or other solutions there + is 1st resolver queried for speed, operating long before browser addons do) than ANY single browser addon by far)

Prove this wrong Coren22 (DNS vs. hosts)
DNS security issues 1st hosts overcome Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.
Open DNS resolvers (!= OpenDNS) get exploited by malware!
Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).
* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).
---
Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.
I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).
It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.
Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).
The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.

DNS security + speed issues hosts counter
Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.
Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) get exploited by malware A LOT!
Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).
* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FAR FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).
---
Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.
I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).
It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.
Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).
The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.
I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS blocking out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNS blocking (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).

AdBlock+ = inferior & 'souled-out' vs. hosts
Can adblock+ do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C talkback
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop C&C talkback
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C talkback
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoning
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Bypass dns blocks
12.) Bypass dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on anything webbound (ie email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Easily controlled data
16.) Do all that & block ads better vs addons more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage* ANSWER ="NO" to each on ab+ doing it as well or @ ALL + hosts = already on every device natively.
APK
P.S.=> Ab+ does less than hosts & less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried).

Ab+'s paid to not do its job http://www.businessinsider.com... & ABP bought adblock http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...

Ab+ adds complexity from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).
