Poor old Netflix. They just can’t seem to recover public favor after the changes they made to their pricing and policies two months ago enraged their user base, and now, with the repackaging of their mailed DVD rental service as a separate entity called “Qwikster”, they only seem to have further alienated the customers who once raved about their offerings. 23,000 people so far have commented on Netflix CEO Reed Hastings’ blog post announcing the “launch” of Qwikster, and none of them sound very happy.

Ghostery is your window into the invisible web – tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior. Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.
Available as extensions for Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, Ghostery also lets you block the trackers it finds, and view the source of suspect scripts. Running it is quite an eye-opener, to say the least.
