AdBlock blocks the ads, Ghostery blocks the scripts. It's an interesting combination that is less radical than NoScript, and still prevents loading most of the annoying stuff.
Of course, if you want to limit the features of a website (whether it's a feature for you, the user, or the website owner), you'll end up breaking some stuff. It's a compromise between privacy and ease of browsing. Still, it's very rare for me to reach a page that becomes totally unusable due to a script blocked by Ghostery. The only example I have in mind is Adobe's Kuler [1]. It's a web app, and it's the kind of websites that tend to break with Ghostery. But the UI is simple enough to circumvent those ponctual failures, by temporarily (or permanently) whitelist the script and/or the domain.
