Still use it
as well
myself but
http://disconnect.me/
is similar and fully FLOSS whereas Ghostery is sorta weird and proprietary and actually helps the ad tracking biz

Ughh, Ghostery isn't FLOSS, but that does not make the code invisible, many places where you can see it like:

or ghostery.com/ghosteries/chrome/
And there is this:

Would be interesting if
http://www.areweprivateyet.com

I use disconnect too, after I found that Ghostery had some weird clashes with other plugins. CPU thrashing around at 100% for minutes kinda clashes :(

For reference, I actually use Disconnect

Ghostery
and
DoNotTrackMe
and
NoScript
and
RequestPolicy.
