Except that blocking cookies renders much of the web unusable. I use Ghostery and am often finding that videos don't load, sometimes whole pages don't load, etc.
I love the idea of a tool that actually uses advertising technology to subvert it.
Yeah, this sucks. It doesn't happen often to me, but Kickstarter and US Airways' online booking site come to mind as two I've hit a few times that are broken with Ghostery. Which is two too many.
Still, I'm willing to put up with the slight inconvenience of just disabling Ghostery on those sites once identified.

Ghostery doesn't block "cookies", it blocks content from blacklisted sites.
Corrected! (Actually there used to be a 'cookies' tab, if I recall correctly, but no more.)
most websites that don't function with cookies suck anyways
