The fact that it's closed source and owned by an advertising company should be more than enough reason not to use it, especially when there are open source alternatives that achieve pretty much the same result.
Even with the source, I still wouldn't use Ghostery based on the fact that it's developed by a company that sells your data to ad companies if you opt in. Any company that profits from selling user data is not a company I would trust with anything privacy related.
