Is It Cool To Have Bit Warden Ghostery And Duck
Ghostery is open-source. What you are referring to the pre-2017 era where Ghostery belonged to a company named Evidon (which had a business model of collecting and selling data to other companies). It was then acquired by Cliqz (which builds a private and independent search engine as well as privacy-focused browsers). Since then the business model has been dropped, code has been open-sourced and Ghostery is now exploring ways to monetize through paid products.

That is misleading. You are referring to the pre-2017 era where Ghostery belonged to a company named Evidon (which had a business model of collecting and selling data to other companies). It was then acquired by Cliqz (which builds a private and independent search engine as well as privacy-focused browsers). Since then the business model has been dropped, code has been open-sourced and Ghostery is now exploring ways to monetize through paid products.
You need to go into Ghostery. Settings --> Notifications. Uncheck "Makes announcements" and "Has product promotions" They have also removed Ghostery Rewards as of version 8.5.4. So you can opt out of all those notifications.

Ex chrome user, asking for advise on adjusting.
As far as "being a little sketchy", you might be referring to the pre-2017 era where Ghostery belonged to a company named Evidon (which had a business model of collecting and selling data to other companies). It was then acquired by Cliqz (which builds a private and independent search engine as well as privacy-focused browsers). Since then the business model has been dropped, code has been open-sourced and Ghostery is now exploring ways to monetize through paid products, as well as client-side offers targeting called rewards.
