If you use uBO then Ghostery is redundant. It can also cause some of uBO’s filters to not work correctly.

I don’t think uBO removes trackers. I originally wanted to do the css edit with uBO but found a reddit thread that used Style Bot with instructions

Not only is Ghostery redundant when you use uBlock Origin (you can choose the tracking removal lists, like EasyPrivacy, for example), Ghostery has a conflict of interests as it works with the ads industry at the same time it has this tool, and it reports the ads and tracking it finds back to advertisers, who can then make them bypass that detection better.
If you insist in a separate add-on, Privacy Badger does the same blocking of trackers and it is maintained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit for digital privacy.

uBO do remove trackers with the
EasyPrivacyanduBlock filters – Privacyfilters. More filters can also be enabled if you know what you’re doing.
