    I've used Ghostery for a long time, but can't anymore because it causes pages to freeze up and hang now.

    And looking into it, this issue has been a frequently occurring one going back some time.

    Ghostery appears to be interfering with Yahoo email add block app. If I turn off the ad block portion of Ghostery, then Yahoo email add block works fine. Please fix this Ghostery.

    This extension allows youtube to play ADS once in awhile. It does NOT completely eliminate ADS.
  • by Antmrk, a year ago
    it blocks adds when i play, and in youtube too!
    when i dont have "Ghostery" i had 100 of adds in the game and youtube. i works very good!

    Works great, but unfortunately doesn't block much more trackers than Ublock Origin, so if you're using that, Ghostery becomes useless.
    Also randomly shows its own ads (for its desktop app or premium) on browser start and when clicking the Ghostery icon.
    Similar to other ad/tracker blockers, but shows ads.

    Notifications can be disabled in the settings menu. Would you mind sending an email to support@ghostery.com with what trackers you found Ghostery was not blocking and where? Thanks!

    uBlock Origin is way bettter than this browser extension and I do not trust the company behind this browser extension and I do not like the upselling for the premium verison

    Works, but lately it feeds you a bunch of ads. Very disappointing, but I'll be moving on to some other solution because of it.

    Hi, notifications can be turned off in Ghostery's extension settings: Click the Ghostery icon in the browser > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > click "notifications" > adjust accordingly. To turn off Rewards: Click the Ghostery icon in the browser > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > click opt in/out > un-check the box that reads "participating in Ghostery Rewards" Reach out by email to support@ghostery.com with any questions.

    Worked fine until I found out it gave me google translate toolbar without asking. That's a no-go.
