"The data we collect in GhostRank doesn't contain any information about the actual ads that were seen by panel members. Rather, we simply report on the technologies that are used to deliver those ads, the performance characteristics of the URLs those technologies were seen on, and if the user blocked that particular technology company. GhostRank can't see the actual ads or anything about the criteria that were used to target them."
But, if you are at all uncomfortable with sharing any data after what you read, feel free to go into your Ghostery settings, click Support Ghostery, and make sure both boxes are left unchecked. That will ensure you never send any data of any kind our way and you can continue to use the extension without ever sharing anything.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jhermie Cruz, 4 days agoI 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by babcha, 5 days agoIn addition to anti-tracking, I love the Never Consent toggle so I don't have to wade through those cookie consent banners.
- Rated 5 out of 5by GalaxyGlimmer, 9 days agoA 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.
