Thanks. I will try Disconnect. [Edited: I'm curious to know why you say Ghostery isn't good for users, and why Disconnect is better?]

To clarify, I wasn't complaining specifically about this article but in general while browsing the web.

Click to Plugin seems to be a Safari plugin, while I am a Firefox/Chrome user. As for ditching NotScript altogether, I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet, especially when I see sites that seem to be loading scripts from an dozen or two domains in addition to their own!

My paranoia comes with a (discomfort) cost attached, I know.

Ghostery might not be as bad as the headlines suggest, but their tracking seems to be opt-out rather than opt-in:

A few months ago, Disconnect's founder (byoogle) spoke about why Disconnect is better:

Disclaimer: I used Ghostery for a long time and liked it, but now use Disconnect.

Ghostery's anonymized data sharing is opt-in.

Thank you. I appreciate the correction.
