&gt; did you evaluate various information sources (Ghostery, etc.) before settling on Disconnect?<p>Monica Chew, the engineer who did the bulk of the work on this feature, did consider a number of available lists before settling on this one. The Disconnect list was the best freely-licensed (GPL) one at the time. Also, they now have a web form to let users suggest new trackers to block (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;disconnect.me&#x2F;trackerprotection" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;disconnect.me&#x2F;trackerprotection</a>) so it should get even better.<p>&gt; Does anyone understand why Mozilla publishes valuable information like this over random personal blogs, rather than a central place like a knowledge base (e.g., a wiki)?<p>It&#x27;s pretty tricky to share information in the &quot;right place&quot; because of the amount of information produced by everyone at Mozilla. Someone&#x27;s preferred channel is often another person&#x27;s blind spot.<p>In this particular example, all of the information is on the wiki page I maintain (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Security&#x2F;Tracking_protection" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Security&#x2F;Tracking_protection</a>) but it felt like a more accessible description of the overall system would also be useful. I put it on my blog because it seemed too detailed&#x2F;technical for my team&#x27;s blog (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;security&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;security&#x2F;</a>) or Hacks (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hacks.mozilla.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hacks.mozilla.org&#x2F;</a>).
