Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Herodotus
Rated 4 out of 5
by Herodotus, 8 months 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,

Many thanks for your review!
Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to test running Ghostery simultaneously with other content blockers in the browser and we recommend deciding for one as there might be issues where the different content blockers rules exclude each other.
Running multiple content blockers in parallel is for advanced users - like in your case - where you know how to recover if issues pop up.
For any questions/concerns, please reach out to support@ghostery.com
Best,
Ghostery Team

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jhermie Cruz, 9 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 GalaxyGlimmer, 14 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.
