Ghostery found 39 trackers on that article. The irony is strong today.

Doesn't Ghostery sell data to advertisers too?

We don't sell any data to 3rd parties. You can also see our source code here https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension

Privacy Badger is a good alternative.

I use uBlock on safari but that's it. Can you recommend an alternative to Privacy Badger (or a trustworthy implementation[0]) that works on Safari? HTTPS everywhere and PB are not supported.

[0] Some company called softtonic has a "Privacy Badger" branded extension but I am skeptical about downloading from an unofficial source.

uMatrix is uBlock for all the things. Or, enable advanced / expert mode in uBlock and use the "traffic light" system to configure blocks to specific domains as encountered.
