Was about to post the same. Ghostery for me reports 22 trackers on the website, 3 of which are from facebook, including the "pixel" tracker that is mentioned in the article.

Ghostery was bought out by another company looking to expand a privacy browser, but original firm (now called Evidon) is in the business of data mining information from Ghostery plugins -

"Ghostery’s B2B Digital Governance solutions will reassume the company’s original Evidon brand, which focuses on monitoring and consent solutions ...Evidon will retain aggregated data about trackers, ensuring no change to the service currently provided to its enterprise clients..."

Stick to something like uMatrix

We no longer have any affiliation with Evidon, nor do we collect or sell any data for third parties. Please feel free to review our source code.

I've heard Privacy Badger (connected with the EFF) is a good one as well.
