    This is so much better than uBlock. It's much easier to use and isn't forced on you when you install a browser.

    Asks for a paid subscription to block annoyances which are just normal free filters in other adblocking solutions.

    Allow acceptable ads by default, which is unfair to users hoping to block all ads.

    Ghostery tells you when a website is requesting private information (and offers to block the request). uBlock prevents advertisements from loading.

    Some overlap, but Ghostery is focused more on privacy and uBlock more on usability
