I am quite happy with Ghostery+NoScript. If you have a general solution, then you would just end up with an arms race. See [0] for details.

IMHO - Ghostery should not be used, Disconnect should be used instead (https://disconnect.me/). Why? Because Ghostery is selling data to advertisers. https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=ghoste...

Heres a more comprehensive article on the topic: http://purplebox.ghostery.com/?p=1016023438

Ghostery would only send data back to Evidon if GhostRank option is enabled.

Plus Disconnect.me is FOSS and (at least when I switched) blocks more than Ghostery.

Yes, but IMHO they are still the best trade off. ( But I will have a look at disconnect, thanks for the link.)
