- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13853185, 7 years agoFinally Ghostery is up to the ethical standards of Mozilla Corporation, which bought them.
Before it was proprietary software spying on you for corporations.
Now it's open source software spying on you for corporations !
With those guys when it's free, you're the product.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13839575, 7 years agoStarted out good but now it is shit. Every time they do an update they turn off all the protection and here I am flying along thinking I'm covered. After putting up with this for the last year I've decided that this company is not trying to protect us it's protecting the advertisers.

- Rated 3 out of 5by The Beard Below My Chin, 7 years agoPositives:
- Idiot-proof, works out the box
- Novice and expert mode
- Listens and responds to community
- Beautifully designed interface
- Massive blocking list.
Negatives:
- First install: 'Analytics and "Human Web Data"' is actually opt out which is predatory for new users.
- Smart filter allows certain ads and tracking sites (Google ads for example).
- Owned by Cliqz GmbH who profit off anonymized data collection. They have to play nice with competing advertisers and trackers.
- Proprietary closed source/ partially open source.
I suggest using these addons who have no ties to user data collection/advertising as of now:
Ublock: Blocks ads / trackers
Umatrix: Allow/deny third party elements
Cookie Auto Delete: Keep useful cookies, auto delete trash cookies.
Privacy Badger: Uses heuristic for trackers, a "light" open-source variation of Ghostery.Developer response
