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

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