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.
