I don't mind ads typically. I still haven't bothered to figure out how to block ads on YouTube. I started out tailoring Ghostery to just block trackers but not ads. But the clickbait ads from taboola and friends were just so terrible (grossly misleading clickbait, half-naked women, tryptophobia) that now I don't feel bad about just blocking everything.



Is Ghostery overkill if you already use NoScript?


Ghostery is tracking and profiling people who block ads for the ad industry. Don't use it. Use ublock origin or umatrix or request policy[1]

you could also use random agent spoofer and better privacy or privacy settings.

Oh cool, I didn't realize uBlock Origin blocked trackers - thought it was just blocking ads.
