Ghostery"s Great!!
I absolutely love the Ghostery Add-On it blocks all the unwanted garbage block and most pop-ups as well! Thanks very much!

I also love it but only partly. Ghostery does not block e.g. pixels likes c.spiegel.de which is based on a small 1x1 GIF pixel. It also doesn't (want?) block "custom" per-site-pixels, only the global players are detected and blocked. Of course, you can still use ABP (AdBlock Plus) with fatboy's (and mine) list to block more out.
After all, I still love this little addon, it helps to keep the first large (12 trackers on one site e.g.) load of trackers away from your machine. Cookies are easily maintained by extensions like "Cookie Monster" or "Cookie Safe", to name some I have used and still using.
My humble two euro-cents. ;) -
As mentioned before, Ghostery attempts to cover 3rd party entries mostly, so there will be gaps in first party specific tracking. We do allow advanced users to modify the list and add their own entries much like ABP, so this route is available to you.
