Ghostery is committed to protecting your privacy!
The article you mention is from 2013 and refers to a time where Ghostery was owned by Evidon. In 2017, Evidon sold Ghostery to Cliqz GmbH, a German company which amongst other things developed the privacy search engine now owned by Brave. Ghostery GmbH is an independent brand and company located in Munich, Germany.

- Rated 2 out of 5by dada.org, 2 days agoappears to be working just fine in most sites ... but fails to perform correctly on YouTube ... i guess that's YT's thing though, as lately, it's been bypassing the good old AdBlocker's ad blocking filters just as well ... besides, apparently, AdBlocker is also in cahoots with YT now, thus allowing some 'harmless' ads be played ... and that's a bummer! (Google owns YT as we all know ... maybe G's to blame?!)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15943940, 5 days agoGhostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues

- Rated 4 out of 5by Herodotus, 11 days agoIn tandem with other ad and tarcker blockers such as Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, you know your browsing is safe.
The only real drawbacks are that many features on a website are blocked, including captchas, and soetimes entire websites that arelegitimate won't allow you to access them. in that case, I must open another browser with Ghostery installed to access them, which is a bit of a pain, but easily overcome if you recognise what's going on.
So 4 out 5 Stars is generous, as the limitations placed on regualr browsing can sometimes outweigh the benefits, - Rated 5 out of 5by Ambrus, 12 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Anonymous, 14 days agoGhostery needs to have AI update the adblocker because YouTube keeps bypassing it needs updated don't use their browser until they do update for the meantime use Adguard guys! If ghostery reads this PLEASE patch your adblocker thanks! Nothing bad YouTube algorithm is managing to find ways to bypass adblockers be careful guys!
