Heh, Ghostery is not paid to whitelist anyone, I would know since I run the database for Ghostery.

As to your question: NoScript does a different thing -- it concentrates on limiting known security issues by disabling Javscript. Tracking is accomplished in a variety of ways, and only some of them are Javascript based. Ghostery looks for all of these and lets users know who is tracking them on any given web page.

Why would you know how or why Ghostery is paid just because you run their database?

Unless you are something more than Ghostery's DBA.

Indeed, I am Ghostery Lord & Master =) -- one of the people who run, develop, and see to the success of it.
