I just tested the front page of wired.com with this new page I just assembled to quickly check what blockers are not blocking: http://raymondhill.net/httpsb/har-parser.html.

Despite "Adobe tag" marked as blocked by Disconnect, these requests were not blocked:

This is the part that bothers me: fooling people into thinking they are shielded against this kind of thing. That is not ok. I accept bugs can happen, but so far your position has been to rationalize why these 3rd-party domains are not blocked.

Oh and in this particular case, Ghostery blocked everything it said it blocked.
