Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Herodotus
Rated 4 out of 5
by Herodotus, a year 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,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19244977, 2 days agoas a first time firefox user, this has been really good for all the time i had this!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18744715, 3 days agoUse to be really good, but now has Ghostery’s True User Agent that decides if it is going to pause Ghostery on a website or not. And there is no way to turn that off. That totally circumvents the very reason it exists in the first place.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Filter Your Water!, 6 days agoSeems to work great. No problems so far. 5 stars is not unreasonable.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17570458, 16 days agoWebRTC палится, да и в xyяндексе как будто бы трекеры не блокирует... Я не специалист, но как-будто бы это расширение, мягко говоря, не подходит для анонимизации. А для блокировки рекламы у меня есть другой плагин. Возможно изменю своё мнение, но пока что не впечатлён.
