- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13903388, 7 years agoIt works great! Pretty easy to choose what sites you want to restrict, or even what specific advertising companies you want to block. So far it does everything I need.

posted 7 years agoThanks for taking the time to give us positive feed back! Happy Browsing! - Rated 1 out of 5by User, 7 years agoThis Addon is bought by a data-company (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism ).
Don't trust it anymore!
I would better recommend installing uBlock, who is made by a free person, is open-source (everybody can read and change the code) and does not sell its users data.

Explain why you don't consider this action selling user data. It is nothing about source code.Developer response

Ghostery Support - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13924978, 7 years agoDepuis que je l'ai connu il a toujours bien fait son boulot. Exemple tout simple : sur Facebook ou Youtube les publicités sont bloquées et surtout on se sent plus envahis par des vidéos en lien avec ce qu'on a regardé (générées automatiquement par les mouchards). Après si y en a qui ça déplaît, ma foi, ils ont rien compris à la vie privée.
