The less distinct 3rd-party/1st-party pairs, the better.
I included µBlock with [my own selection of lists](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists:-gorhill), to show that you can easily turn µBlock into a much more aggressive privacy exposure-reducing blocker.
### Methodology
All blockers were configured in such a way as to compare apples-vs-apples:
- **Ghostery:** Select all trackers. _"GhostRank"_ not checked. _"Update now"_ clicked (and ensured whatever new filters were used).
- **µBlock:** out-of-the-box settings + local mirroring enabled (through _"Experimental features"_).
- **µBlock (gorhill):** see [_"Filter lists: gorhill"_](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists:-gorhill).
- **Adblock Plus:** _"EasyList"_ + _"EasyPrivacy"_, _"Fanboy's Social Block List"_, _"Malware Domains"_ checked. _"Acceptable ads"_ unchecked. _"Update now"_ clicked.
- **Disconnect:** out-of-the-box settings -- no change.
