There maybe some overlap but you will not get both functions from either program. Guest • Oct 2015 • 11 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree Ghostery has its own problems selling data to advertisers. Disconect and uBlock Origin is better. Guest • Apr 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Ghostery is proprietary, the last update does not block all trackers Guest • Mar 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree After Ghostery's new update they no longer allow you to individually block ads or social media trackers.

Instead, go for these open source alternatives: PrivacyBadger (EFF supported, open source tracker blocker), Disconnect (open source tracker blocker) and uBlock Origin (open source ad blocker).
