No lie, the first thing I do whenever I install a new Linux OS or reset an Android phone is install ghostry on the browser. Hands down, the best of it's kind.

THE BEST PRIVACY APP YOU CAN GET

I've been using Ghostery for 7 years already and I can say that it saved me from a couple of unwanted ads, popups, trackers...
As long as I'm browsing the internet, this trusty little addon will stay in my browser doing it's job like an unseen superhero.
Like they say: not all heroes wear capes... some wear sheets. :)

Was an AdBlocker user from Windows XP on. Switched to Ghostery when I started using Mozilla instead of IE11. Runs quietly and does it's job. Still compatible on Win7 Pro 64 platform. Computing is flawless and so is privacy.

Englsih version following the french text

J'utilise Ghostery depuis 2014. J'ai installé l'extension sur tous les navigateurs que j'utilise : Firefox, Chrome et Safari. J'apprécie tellement le service que je verse chaque année ma contribution. Ghostery offre trois qualités qui le rendent unique :

- L'extention est très stable et ne fait pas planter le navigateur. Ghostery ne ralenti pas non plus la navigation. Ghostery fonctionne parfaitement sur Fedora Linux et macOS (les deux OS que j'utilise). Pour mes usages, Ghostery est également très facile d'accès.

- Ghostery est mis à jour régulièrement et propose une protection très efficace, même pour les services de streaming.

- Ghostery propose des newsletters très bien faites et très utiles

I have been using Ghostery since 2014. I have installed the extension on all the browsers I use: Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I appreciate the service so much that I pay my contribution every year. Ghostery offers three qualities that make it unique:

- The extension is very stable and does not crash the browser. Ghostery also does not slow down browsing. Ghostery works perfectly on Fedora Linux and macOS (the two OS I use). For my uses, Ghostery is also very easy to access.

- Ghostery is updated regularly and offers very effective protection, even for streaming services.

- Ghostery offers very well-made and very useful newsletters

I've been using Ghostery across multiple browsers and multiple devices since the beta release. It still remains one of the 3 essential privacy extensions I insist upon securing your online activities with. The team has always updated the extension consistently and smoothly. Pretty much every other core extension I've used over the years has either had rough patches, controversies, or went straight belly-up. Never a hiccup with this one.

Want to Block those pesky Trackers as well as an add blocker? ➡️ You need to keep the Ghost close 👻 Ghostery is as strong ,Free and needed in today's world❗

10/10 best adblocker

Why did the developer or developers decide to do one of the dumbest redesigns? I don't buy the based on user input BS. Typical statement made by poor developer design. Yes I've done website and app design. Put the "Pause Ghostery" button back when you click on the icon. It's quicker vs going into the settings. Like why? I need to be able to quickly toggle the pause frequently and now it's more clicks for zero reasons. I can still pause my UBlock Origin that way right on the icon click. But in it's place you tell the user where to go find it. We want the pause button back!

I don't even remember when I started using Ghostery. It's been so useful that I just forget that it's even there.

excelente bloqueador de anuncios, muy recomendada

On mobile, it makes the youtube cookie popup endless 😡

I have used Ghostery for so long. It has blocked various ads and trackers, making feel safe while being on the internet. However, I think recently the extension had gone through an update of some sort. After the update, it has not been blocking any ads and there are so many pop ups. If this continues to happen, I might consider using a different extension.

For about two weeks embedded 'Youtube' videos will not play on any websites. Filed a detailed report on Ghostery Support Page and have not had any response (That was a huge waste of time!). Worked great for years. Give it another day or two before I completely remove it. UPDATE: Support couldn't replicate. Asked for screenshot and other routine nonsense (I thought they were going to ask me to unplug Youtube and plug it back in! ) Never asked if I was signed into Youtube. That was the problem. CAN'T BE SIGNED INTO YOUTUBE. The only way around it is to turn-off AD TRACKING "globally" (every website) The specific Youtube site "exceptions" don't work as they should. I wonder how many people have this problem and just simply give up without contacting support and remove GHOSTERY. Might be many. One percent would be 10,000. Nah..I'm sure it's just me.
