Disconnect, <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/disconnect/>, uses the same basic idea as Ghostery, but Disconnect maintains its own blocking lists. There's also Firefox's built-in tracking protection, enabled by default only in Private mode. It uses one of Disconnect's lists -- their 'basic' list by default, but you can change it to use their 'strict' list. To enable it in normal, non-Private mode, go through about:config and toggle privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to 'true'. <https://support.mozilla.org/kb/tracking-protection-pbm> AIUI, since the Disconnect extension and the built-in stuff use the same lists, having both is redundant. I haven't used Ghostery in a long time or the Disconnect extension, so I don't know how these things compare feature-wise.
