I have to admit my knowledge of ghostery is not current as I quit using it not long after the privacy extension got bought by an advertising company. I was shocked that the option to support the extension turned out to be a spying tool for advertisers to design ads that users wouldn't want to block.
I tried installing ghostery just now and ghostrank is indeed opt-in now. It is a good thing they upped their PR and changed their faq less than 6 months ago to make it clear how they make money, but they have lost my trust long ago and there's no coming back from that. Then again I wouldn't trust a company whose business is advertising with protecting my privacy and I definitely don't want better advertising, I want advertising to disappear from the web altogether as it was when i first started using it.
