Oh my gosh...Ghostery is showing one site had 16 trackers on it! Some 4 to 6 others in the teens. Can’t believe how “loaded” sites are with trackers. Seems like everything has trackers on it! WoW!....So it doesn’t appear the other Ad Block is interferring.

Google seems to track on every site in one form or another. Lots of ad types.

Maybe I sould turn the do not track me off???

Yup. That's my experience as well. I've been using Ghostery for a couple of years now, and I've noted that very few sites are benign when it comes to this stuff. Some blogs and sites like FR are trackerless, but most of them attach a posse of bots to your computer.
