I actually stopped using Ghostery (on Firefox) because of bugs.. and I do mean the kind that breaks web-services, messes up log-ins and breaks entire site-designs.
Duck Duck Go seems very cool.. but has no image search :/
For giggles though neither search engine (Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo) is able to understand what you search for. So they spit out results that match the term entered, which is the wrong term (it was a case of unofficial English translated title for Japanese anime) and no search engine told me that. The only reason I know this is that noticing that neither anidb nor MAL are in the results on the top i checked those and see there, those are the only sites that correctly list the name as secondary name.... a search engine needs to know this, say "You searched for _this_ to which _that_ is the alternative title " ... still not developed enough...
WolframAlpha didn't even find what i searched for at all by the way ;p
well if you wanna have google sniffing up your a,, then you will get what you search for , tho i rater kick google than having them to spy everything i do , it is of no damm Business what i do or not , and i have np doing a little work with the other search engines to get what i search for guess peps nowaday are use to 1 button click and getting what they want , even tho they give up everything to ..ahh forget it its just  |

I doubt Ghostery would help much if Facebook actually bought the browser. Besides, Ghostery has a giant "Friend us on Facebook" button right on their front page. That's not exactly inspiring for a company that's supposedly dedicated to privacy.
I run chrome permanently in icognito mode, with adblock plus, not scripts, referer control, flash cookies off, and albine's Do Not Track Plus (Formerly Chrome block, and basically the same thing as ghostery). I also dumped Google for Duck Duck Go for my search engine. I have never had a Google account nor a social networking account on anything (My Space, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. etc. etc.) and I almost never visit those sites.
Now while that's not full-proof... I'm definitely more "off the grid" than the average joe.
I don't go to extreme lengths either, like using TOR, because I'm not really looking to duck law enforcement... I have nothing to hide.
But I definitely am telling the ad trackers to "Fuck Off", in my own little way. 
EDIT: Since the topic made me go look at Chrome extensions... I just replaced Not Scripts and Referer Control with ScriptNo. That works much better for script blocking, and spoofs the referrer and User Agent more easily.

If Facebook buys Opera I guess I'll have to quit using Opera. That's too bad.
