Ghostery is the only extension I use. I prefer bookmarklets for specific actions like adding to pinboard and instapaper for instance. Being a bit of privacy nut I don't really trust most extensions, a lot of them have quite wide ranging permissions. That said I turn off cookies and just whitelist the sites I want to set data on my machine so I'm not exactly typical in my use.

So you use Ghostery instead of Privacy Badger? [0]

I do. It's more regularly updated and much simpler to use. I found myself constantly having to play with the settings of Privacy Badger on a site by site basis to get the experience I wanted. But YMMV.
