I guess the lure of selling use data is just too great for any commercial entity to control the source of these as blockers. uBlock and PrivacyBadger are still clean AFAIK.
From what I've read, ABP are just plain extortionists: "those are nice 'acceptable' ads you have; shame if something were to happen to them." Ghostery's business model makes it a bit untrustworthy, but it works pretty well as far as I can tell. uBlock is "you get what you pay for" freeware, so you can trust it as long as not many people use it. PrivacyBadger is developed by a small number of honest-to-God privacy zealots (in the best possible sense), so it won't get sold out, but will probably lag behind the curve.
I use a couple of them at once, block most JavaScript, usually run with cookies disabled, and pay a bit of attention to what's going on in the privacy news. For less tech-savvy relatives, I just install Ghostery and disable third-party cookies, since that seems least likely to break websites, and blocks most of the worst tracking.
Oh, and hosts-block tynt. Those guys should drown in burning kerosene.
The whitelisted ads are configurable and to tell you the truth this is what I miss now that I'm using uBlock. Personally I understand that ads are a business model that many websites and services need to survive and I've got nothing against websites showing ads tastefully.
