I remember that update, suddenly they disabled Cookie AutoDelete, what left me with a bad feeling.

PS: Meanwhile I do not understand why is Ghostery included in that tinny allowed addons list (and now Tampermonkey).

Do you mean there's something wrong with Ghostery?
For a while Ghostery was owned by an ad company, and for a while Ghostery would add ads to browsers (IIRC). The first is no longer the case, not sure about the second.
Ghostery? I've been using it for years, with complete satisfaction. Hardly ever that I see adverts.
As soon as it got bought up by an ad company it just felt like a poisoned well so I stopped using it / recommending it to friends. Their reputation suffered so I stopped paying attention to see if they got any better.
