Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery

Rated 1 out of 5
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????

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14856889, 6 days agoLove Ghostery for ad blocking etc. Unfortunately more and more sites, especially her in the UK are refusing access whilst Ghostery is enabled. Developers need to find a work around for this or we'll be tracked and swamped with ads pretty soon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16508766, 13 days agoFor me, the best blocker for Firefox.
I see not a single crappy ads on web pages and youtube, and everything runs smoothly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Fawaz, 15 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Weillyn, 16 days agoTLDR: Lightweight, easy to use, informative, and effective. Highly recommend.
I've been using Ghostery for years now and it is by far the most effective adblock I've used. The interface is clean, easy to navigate, and easy to understand (even for those with minimal PC knowledge.) Almost all ads are blocked; it is very rare that I end up seeing ads, and when I do, it's usually an obscure website, or YouTube breaking through briefly before a new update comes through promptly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14461639, 18 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15114289, 19 days agoWorked fine until some days ago. It just slows down the browser a lot and YT is basically unusable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ashley, 20 days agoThis works great! It not only blocks ads, it also blocks trackers too! This is something I will always use! I wish there was a mobile version to block this stuff when browsing on a phone though!

- Rated 3 out of 5by SWRU, a month agoВозможно он и не плохой, просто меня замучило окно "#DistributionPopupDesktopRectangle__e8wewcx9yw75g0gk41cq-PhJvaFd.Root" в этой строке меняется только конец и окно снова пол экрана загораживает, надеялись, что ваша программа поможет - увы нет - ваша программа не блокирует эту строку после обновления страницы она снова появляется с новым "-PhJvg9S.Root" или "-PhJwLZT.Root" учтановка галочки "блокировать похожие" не помогла, а это строка собрана уже более 100 шт. и всё появляется.
