Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Herodotus
Rated 4 out of 5
by Herodotus, 2 years agoIn tandem with other ad and tarcker blockers such as Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, you know your browsing is safe.
The only real drawbacks are that many features on a website are blocked, including captchas, and soetimes entire websites that arelegitimate won't allow you to access them. in that case, I must open another browser with Ghostery installed to access them, which is a bit of a pain, but easily overcome if you recognise what's going on.
So 4 out 5 Stars is generous, as the limitations placed on regualr browsing can sometimes outweigh the benefits,

Many thanks for your review!
Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to test running Ghostery simultaneously with other content blockers in the browser and we recommend deciding for one as there might be issues where the different content blockers rules exclude each other.
Running multiple content blockers in parallel is for advanced users - like in your case - where you know how to recover if issues pop up.
For any questions/concerns, please reach out to support@ghostery.com
Best,
Ghostery Team

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18308918, 9 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, 9 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, 9 hours ago
