Like so many other users within the last few days I have removed Ghostery for wanting to "access all data". I don't believe that it should be allowed to do that at all and seems extremely intrusive. Thank you for the time i've been with you but I shall now be using a different app that doesn't feel the need to see all of my passwords.

Hi, there, in order for Ghostery to block trackers and ads, it needs to be able to detect and take action on elements of a web page as you browse. We do not record sensitive information, record browsing history, or disclose user data. Note that despite the prompt being new, Ghostery is not introducing any new permissions with the update. You can read about this in greater detail on our FAQ page, here: https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/why-am-i-being-prompted-to-approve-an-update-from-ghostery/

    I am afraid to use it because of opinion of most "advance users" or ublock itself that using different blocker does not compliment with other blocker extensions, but ghostery with ublock makes my preloading faster and better. So ghostery is a big help.

    In addition to anti-tracking, I love the Never Consent toggle so I don't have to wade through those cookie consent banners.

    Easy to custom use it, and see the blockers.

    A top tier extension to add to your browser, pretty much plug & play situation. I do link my account to sync across my devices I use this extension.

    so far so good - transparent, not intrusive, seems to be working.

    Makes a lot of websites actually usable since it blocks all ads. I also like the menu where you can see what kind of content it blocks. Recommend
