I don't have the extension, but I wonder how many trackers/beacons there are on that CBS page.

Ghostery reports doubleclick, adsense, new relic, omniture, and visual revenue (also adobe typekit, but not sure whether you consider that a tracker/beacon)

Disconnect reports new relic, "google", visual revenue

EDIT to clarify: The answer wasn't intended to suggest that Ghostery blocks more or different ads/trackers compared to Disconnect. I just read off what the blockers reported.

It sounds like you’re running at least Disconnect and Ghostery at the same time. You can’t do these comparisons with multiple filtering extensions running at the same time and get apples-to-apples results because if one extension blocks a request, other extensions don’t see the request (the install order [browser dependent] determines which extension has first crack at blocking).

With just Disconnect running (OP), I get this list (similar to AjithAntony):

facebook.com, plus.google.com, reddit.com, www.google.com, apis.google.com, twitter.com, google-analytics.com, livefyre.com, facebook.net, scorecardresearch.com, moatads.com, linkedin.com, doubleclick.net, fonts.googleapis.com, googleusercontent.com, gstatic.com, googletagservices.com, quantserve.com, youtube.com, ytimg.com, googlesyndication.com, 2mdn.net, visualrevenue.com, imrworldwide.com, conviva.com, lphbs.com, googleadservices.com, accounts.google.com, typekit.net, ru4.com, clicktale.net, bkrtx.com, fyre.co, theplatform.com, stumbleupon.com, securestudies.com, network-auth.com
