Unless I am mistaken, saying that "Ghostery is selling their browsing data to advertisers" is wrong, at least to common understanding of those terms.
I have ghostery installed and I do knowingly opt in to the anonymous data sharing. From their FAQ (http://www.ghostery.com/faq#q16) my understanding is that there is nothing personally identifiable about this data, they are just using my interaction with the web to say "Tracker X appeared on website Y". I see nothing wrong with this.
I'm happy to let them gather this information and profit from it - they are providing me with a useful service and selling that aggregate, anonymous data lets them stay in business and continue to provide me with their service. If I am misunderstanding something, and this data can be used to identify me as an individual, I would welcome an explanation.
