I've been using Ghostery for over a year and it seems to do what it
says on the tin.  I've deployed it on all of my workstations at home
and also at work as basic security.  It even updates its ruleset over
Tor if you're using it with the TBB (confirmed with tcpdump).

When last I checked with tcpdump (about sixteen months ago) I saw no
such leakage.
