uBlock origin put Ghostery lite in list of good replacement for people on safari so I'm confused now. https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/issues/158
uBlock for Safari is run by some mostly unrelated third party, and what you linked specifically is an issue by "ghost".
Weird that this person doesn’t even consider Firefox, the only browser that lets you have Adblock and other addons on mobile (but not on iOS, sadly).
Hi author, if you're here on HN please consider ditching sketchy extensions like Ghostery (sells your user data) and Adblock+ (participates in paid bypass of "acceptable ads" program) for the open-source and user-focused uBlock Origin ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock ). Also, if you haven't tried Firefox since the quantum days come back and give it another try.

* Firefox main income is the competitor, Google
* Firefox sent telemetry to Google servers after first start
So am I, it doesn't feet in my degoogled life.
I cannot understand why technically savvy people keep using spywares like Brave ( https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html ) or Chrome ( https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/chrome.html ) when we have better alternatives such as Vivaldi ( https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/vivaldi.html ) or Firefox ( https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/firefox.html )
Isn't Vivaldi proprietary? I would cross it off the list as well. Then maybe add qutebrowser, nyxt, and ungoogled-chromium.

“ghost” is GitHub’s deleted user placeholder, not somebody affiliated with Ghostery.

I think it's at least worth having the discussion about "acceptable ads". While reasonable people can disagree, I personally think that unobtrusive advertising that doesn't harvest your data should be a valid business model.

Does firefox let you install extensions without contacting Mozilla servers? I'm not sure how the extension signing works, but it may fail the same reason they're leaving Brave.
