Ghostery has or has had some controversial analytics called GhostRank that it collects(it may be opt-in I'm not sure). But uBlock Origin is definiently the best content filtering extension I've ever used.

I think it’s opt-in. All the “share data” checkboxes in the “Support Ghostery” panel are unchecked for me.

It's opt-in, and has also been acquired by a company building a privacy-focused browser (I think?).

From what I see, it’s a small German startup that puts emphasis on user privacy. Sounds fine to me.
