Just lovely, when you think you found a browser that works decently and cares about privacy...
Install Firefox (also works on mobile!), add uBlock Origin (also available on mobile!), done.

Ghostery is like Brave, they record and sell your browsing habbits. I stopped using them back in 2013.
Seems like we need to have another talk with the less terminally-online people about what is and isn’t actually good int he world of web browsing safety…

I believe that is outdated. Ghostery's ownership changed quite a few years ago, along with their business model. Read here.
Or you could just enable that filter in ublock origin. Will be faster and more robust as well.
