Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery

by Klaas de Eindbaas, a year agoToo bad it also hides all cookies-option screen, making it impossible to choose 'opt-out' or 'only necessary'. I don't know if Ghostery does this bc it maybe disables all non-necessary cookies itself, but I don't know Ghostery well enough to know that, I'm not participant in coding Ghostery. So regardless whether its relevant, I'd like to get the choice to click 'Decline All' or eg the Dutch 'Weigeren'. Even if it only was bc the cookies option screen now continuesly pops up and disappears with every new page you click to within a site. It's annoying to say the least. If I'd be given the chance to just click the decline button then that screen is gone 'forever' while I'm on a site, not peek-a-booing on every page I visit wihin that site. And it's worrying to say the most, bc if the decline isn't clicked - then what unwanted cookies are seeping through????

Ghostery’s feature Never-Consent is doing exactly what you are asking for. It automates the interaction with consent dialogues, expressing dissent to tracking. If you would like to click on those consent dialogues yourself, you can toggle off Never-Consent in Ghostery Settings.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18308918, 4 hours agoGhostery is one of my core companions for web browsing and greatly accelerates and cleans my experience so that I get done quickly what i want to get done, whether it is taking a break from work or just getting work done. I deeply appreciate the work that the Ghostery team does and when i can support them in other ways I very likely will.
I am someone who despises ads, they are intrusive and disruptive and annoying and irrelevant at all times. If i want something, i will find it. I do not need advertisements. I am data driven so I don't need to be spammed with an assortment of offers at all times, I need the data that should be readily available by any competent merchant so that I can self-educate about their product and decide whether I can benefit from it or not. Ghostery is an excellent aid to this effect, that instead of being harassed I can peacefully traverse the internet and find what I need or want without a constant barrage of subconscious-targeting noise. - Rated 5 out of 5by 3.1415926, 4 hours agoKinda spoils me.
I mainly use FF, but occasionally use other browsers (mostly Chrome/Chromium & Brave). When I switch to an other browser, I realize how much junk Ghostery is removing from FF. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ch3fUlrich, 4 hours ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Charlie Merritt, 8 hours agoBrowsing would be intolerable without this wonderful add on. On Android I get news feed on Chrome, I always hit the three button menu and "Open with Firefox" which has Ghostery, making the story readable. Rarely there is a need to turn it off - which is easy! and flexible - 5 minutes, this site, one time, etc. 100%
