Ghostery is a Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, SeaMonkey and Opera add-on that was designed to protect your privacy.

With Ghostery, you will be able to see who's tracking your web browsing and block them with Ghostery.

In other words, Ghostery can see the "invisible" web, detecting trackers, pixels, web bugs, and beacons placed on web pages by Facebook, Google Analytics, and over 1,000 other ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers - all companies interested in your activity.

After showing you who operates behind the scenes, you will also be able to learn more about each company it identifies, including links to their privacy policy and opt-out options.

The Ghostery add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
