Personally I use [uBlock on Firefox](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/) (addon also works on mobile versions too). With an extra filter list which does do the same as Disconnect.me or Ghostery. And nobody knows without deep packing inspection if Ghostery really sends anything back even if the GhostRank option is disabled - we simply must trust them.\r\n\r\nHere is my current external uBlock list:\r\n```\r\n! Acceptable Ads\r\n! https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads\r\n! GNU privacy filter\r\nhttp://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/blacklist.txt\r\n! YouTube all suggestions and comments\r\n! https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_full.txt\r\n! YouTube suggestions \r\nhttps://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_suggestions.txt\r\n! YouTube annoyances\r\n! https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_other.txt\r\n! YouTube Remove Comments\r\nhttps://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_comments.txt\r\n! Cookie removal - http://liamja.co.uk/Prebake/\r\n!https://raw.github.com/liamja/Prebake/master/obtrusive.txt\r\n! Fanboy's Anti-Facebook Filter\r\n!https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-antifacebook.txt\r\n```\r\n\r\nuBlock itself already comes with the most important ones like _Fanboy's Social Blocking List_, _Anti-ThirdpartySocial_, _Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List_ and _Dan Pollock's hosts file_ (the last also blocks some super/ever cookies).\r\n\r\nRemember that uBlock also have [the ability to block everything via noop](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-user-features) (for advanced users only) and make exclusions via white-/blacklist per sites only (Imho much better instead of million of external lists which may lead in huge troubles).\r\n\r\nAnother benefit of removing such addons like Ghostery/Disconnect are that most people already using an Adblocker such uBlock, AdBlock (or on mobile devices AdAway, AdBlock Plus, uBlock, AdGuard) which safes memory if we load the lists in the already running addon instead of adding just another one like Ghostery/Disconnect.
