Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Klaas de Eindbaas
Rated 1 out of 5
by Klaas de Eindbaas, a year agoToo bad it also hides all cookies-option screen, making it impossible to choose 'opt-out' or 'only necessary'. I don't know if Ghostery does this bc it maybe disables all non-necessary cookies itself, but I don't know Ghostery well enough to know that, I'm not participant in coding Ghostery. So regardless whether its relevant, I'd like to get the choice to click 'Decline All' or eg the Dutch 'Weigeren'. Even if it only was bc the cookies option screen now continuesly pops up and disappears with every new page you click to within a site. It's annoying to say the least. If I'd be given the chance to just click the decline button then that screen is gone 'forever' while I'm on a site, not peek-a-booing on every page I visit wihin that site. And it's worrying to say the most, bc if the decline isn't clicked - then what unwanted cookies are seeping through????

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ruby Ryder, a month agoWhen I see other people's computers as they browse the internet, I'm shocked at all the crap they have to see on every website! Ghostery blocks all of it. Found out about this wonderful extension when I was looking for an answer to a computer problem. The forum I was in was way above my level of understanding, but someone mentioned Ghostery. I started using it and then recommended it to my computer guy, who uses it now, too! Been a user for >10 years.
- Rated 5 out of 5by CanadianMoose, a month agoBeen using Ghostery in conjunction with Ublock Origin for years, works flawlessly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by clown dog, a month agoFavorite ad-blocker to date. I often don't notice it's doing anything until i look at it in the upper corner and see its blocking 15 ads and trackers on a singular site *and* automatically opted out of all possible cookies for me. Definitely recommend.
