Ghostery is software with proprietary binaries. The company makes money by working with ad agencies. It collects information about which pages you view. None of this is acceptable as a privacy tool, and it is time for people to stop recommending this (disconnect is another poor recomendation).

Use tools with a solid commitment and record to privacy instead (such as https everywhere and privacy badger from the EFF or uBlockOrigin and uMatrix)

They went open source.

I'm uBlock Origin, https everywhere, and ghostery these days b/c it has a larger list of trackers it blocks. That plus my vpn is my minimum.
