by User, 7 years agoThis Addon is bought by a data-company (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism ).
Don't trust it anymore!
I would better recommend installing uBlock, who is made by a free person, is open-source (everybody can read and change the code) and does not sell its users data.
(I'm sorry for any mistakes, I'm german and just want to warn you)
