posted a month agoHi there,
Thanks for reaching out to Ghostery!
Sorry for your experience! We also replied via email.
Based on user feedback, usability tests and the redesign, we have moved the global pause button to Settings (accessible from Ghostery panel --> Burger Menu --> Privacy Protection) and have “Trust this site” available and accessible with one click which is scoped to pausing Ghostery on the present site only and for a selected time.
Many of our users were pausing Ghostery and forgetting to turn back on, so they were unknowingly and unwillingly browsing the web unprotected. We tried to fix that for the user group.
Regarding "The new v10 is broken, it isn't blocking anything." Can you please send us a screenshot of the Ghostery panel with a loaded website to support@ghostery.com? We would love to help fix this for you.
Best,
Ghostery Support

- Rated 5 out of 5by nurkanat, a day agoProbably the most user friendly adblocker with very good level of protection

- Rated 1 out of 5by ···, 3 days agoThe new UI is a disaster. Before, I knew exactly what I wanted to block and what not. Now I'm being patronized. That's why I'm still using version 8.12.13 with the automatic updates turned off.
addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4314110/ghostery-8.12.13.xpi - Rated 5 out of 5by Jon, 5 days agoIts the first thing I install on every browser or device I use. This is the sixth time I have installed it on a new browser and I will do it again. Also the fact that its free!
- Rated 5 out of 5by baggnsaggnbarry, 5 days agoI like ghostery because it works as intended while being easy to use and unobtrusive.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15661247, 5 days agoMy favorite tracker & add blockers out there while using Firefox.
Keeps webpages clean and doens't slow surfing speed down. What more do you want?! - Rated 5 out of 5by davva23, 5 days agoI used this while I used Firefox as my browser. It did what it said it would do, has an intuitive user interface and lets you easily see what it is doing.
I recommend it for folks still using Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ro, 6 days agoWorks great for me, and allows to open ads again for sites you trust and support!
- Rated 5 out of 5by 4nd, 6 days agoFirefoxに存在する他の広告ブロック系の拡張機能と比較した場合、Ghoateryの利点はずばり「シンプルで分かりやすいこと」です。
ここで比較対象となるのはublock originやAdguardなどになりますが、それらとは異なりフィルターを選択・管理することがまず無いというのは大きな利点でしょう。ダウンロード時点でブロック機能は十分であり、強いて挙げれば言語ごとのフィルターを選ぶ程度(それも初期時点で自国の言語は対応しています)。
一部要素を非表示するようなカスタマイズ性を求め出すと少し物足りないかもしれませんが、取り敢えず広告を防ぎたいライトユーザーとしては問題ないかと思います。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17517347, 7 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Waterfall, 8 days agoI've been using Ghostery for about 4 years now, really useful to not get flooded by ads.
My father recommended me this to get rid of trackers, wasn't sure about how useful it was to install that kind of extension. Right now I don't feel comfy going on Firefox without my ghostery active.
Really love the feature that refuses cookies on every single page. Prevents me to find the little "continue without accepting", that annoying windows just goes off and you're free to navigate on their website without sending your datas.
Couldn't recommend this extension more ! A big thanks for the team :)Developer response

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by mpaduano, 9 days agoNo lie, the first thing I do whenever I install a new Linux OS or reset an Android phone is install ghostry on the browser. Hands down, the best of it's kind.

Ghostery Team- Rated 5 out of 5by AlexMerlin, 10 days agoI've been using Ghostery for 7 years already and I can say that it saved me from a couple of unwanted ads, popups, trackers...
As long as I'm browsing the internet, this trusty little addon will stay in my browser doing it's job like an unseen superhero.
Like they say: not all heroes wear capes... some wear sheets. :)Developer response

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18618580, 10 days agoWas an AdBlocker user from Windows XP on. Switched to Ghostery when I started using Mozilla instead of IE11. Runs quietly and does it's job. Still compatible on Win7 Pro 64 platform. Computing is flawless and so is privacy.

J'utilise Ghostery depuis 2014. J'ai installé l'extension sur tous les navigateurs que j'utilise : Firefox, Chrome et Safari. J'apprécie tellement le service que je verse chaque année ma contribution. Ghostery offre trois qualités qui le rendent unique :
- L'extention est très stable et ne fait pas planter le navigateur. Ghostery ne ralenti pas non plus la navigation. Ghostery fonctionne parfaitement sur Fedora Linux et macOS (les deux OS que j'utilise). Pour mes usages, Ghostery est également très facile d'accès.
- Ghostery est mis à jour régulièrement et propose une protection très efficace, même pour les services de streaming.
- Ghostery propose des newsletters très bien faites et très utiles

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by K.L., 10 days agoI've been using Ghostery across multiple browsers and multiple devices since the beta release. It still remains one of the 3 essential privacy extensions I insist upon securing your online activities with. The team has always updated the extension consistently and smoothly. Pretty much every other core extension I've used over the years has either had rough patches, controversies, or went straight belly-up. Never a hiccup with this one.
