Ghostery, at least in the past, has sold user data. ABP allows companies to pay to whitelist their ads[1], and is somewhat bloated in my experience.
I highly recommend uBlock Origin. Their manifesto[2] most closely aligns with my beliefs on how my browser should behave: "The user decides what web content is acceptable or not in their browser."

- HWR_14 6y agoDoes uBlock Origin have, like NoScript, an easy way to toggle whether scripts (and other resources) from various domains are loaded straight in the browser? Or is it "modify a config text file and reload". I figured out how to block specific elements, but I do miss the ease of just turning off sources from a GUI of "everything that loaded".
- cmeacham98 6y agoYes, here's an image of the uBlock Origin UI: https://files.catbox.moe/upzo0c.png https://files.catbox.moe/upzo0c.png You can see you can block by domain, host, and some pre-determined groups like "3rd-party".
