Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery

by snkiz, 4 months agoThe new v10 is broken, it isn't blocking anything. The new UI doesn't add anything but more clicks. Pause is now buried in a full page settings page that is full of white space and completely unnecessary. The time choice for pause has been removed. Trash update.

posted 4 months agoHi there,
Thanks for reaching out to Ghostery!
Sorry for your experience! We also replied via email.
Based on user feedback, usability tests and the redesign, we have moved the global pause button to Settings (accessible from Ghostery panel --> Burger Menu --> Privacy Protection) and have “Trust this site” available and accessible with one click which is scoped to pausing Ghostery on the present site only and for a selected time.
Many of our users were pausing Ghostery and forgetting to turn back on, so they were unknowingly and unwillingly browsing the web unprotected. We tried to fix that for the user group.
Regarding "The new v10 is broken, it isn't blocking anything." Can you please send us a screenshot of the Ghostery panel with a loaded website to support@ghostery.com? We would love to help fix this for you.
Best,
Ghostery Support

Ghostery Team- Rated 1 out of 5by Lisa, 13 days agoPersonally I've seen 0 difference in pop ups since I got this...
If it keeps websites from tracking me, good, but its inefficiency with the one thing it promotes doesn't reassure me. I was looking for an ad blocker when I downloaded it, so that's still not done...Developer response
posted 9 days agoThanks for your feedback! It sounds like Ghostery is not enabled at all. Please check the Ghostery panel if more permissions are required or contact support@ghostery.com for more help!
