@postmodern I'd say Disconnect looks better. HN discussion here

And why not Ad-Block instead of ABP?

@PhearTheCeal replaced Ghostery with Disconnect. You can opt-out of the "acceptable ads" in Ad Block Plus.

I recommend µBlock over AdBlock, it's more resource efficient. The EFF's Privacy Badger is a good alternative to Ghostery. Ixquick is another privacy-focused search engine (they even have a new, less 1999 look coming soon, I see!).

For the Browser Privacy category, I recommend adding uBlock Origin and uMatrix (also by @gorhill, like NoScript but with much more granularity) as well as ScriptSafe for Chrome (which is like NoScript but with a better interface). KB SSL Enforcer is a good alternative to HTTPS Everywhere, too; it learns which sites support HTTPS and which don't rather than relying on a central list.
