Ghostery can determine when "invisible" pixels, bugs, beacons, and other trackers have been placed on web pages by Facebook, Google Analytics, and more than 500 ad networks. The app also allows people to learn about the tracking companies and to block scripts from particular companies. Ghostery doesn't require users to register or otherwise identify themselves. The app for iOS supports features including bookmarking, tabbed browsing, and cookie clearing. Users can opt in to the GhostRank feature, which sends anonymous information about the trackers people encounter.
