- Rated 2 out of 5by petra, 2 months agoGhostery blocks less and less and runs more and more unsecure! the plug-in gets stuck after a firefox crash and hast to be re:installed to run again!
On the other hand it blocks to much, like age popups and the paypal popup to pay something!Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi there,
Thanks for your feedback! Please reach out to support@ghostery.com with examples of sites where we block too much.
Regarding Ghostery getting stuck after a Firefox crash - it could be possible that Firefox leaves a profile in a corrupted state in this case. Your help would be important in trying to reproduce it. We would be happy to help fix the issues you are experiencing!

Команда Ghostery - Rated 2 out of 5by dada.org, 3 months 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?!)

Not very thorough.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SuperMarioBR, 2 years agoNice interface... But thats all... Cant add specific filters... Limited to what GHOSTERY wants to block... And still showing ads at www.uol.com.br... Changing to another addon better than this...
Interface bonitinha... Mas so isso...
Nao permite adicionar filtros individuais... Restrito ao que o GHOSTERY quer bloquear... E continua exibindo anuncios no dominio www.uol.com.br... Mudando para outro addon melhor que este... - Rated 2 out of 5by Popov71, 2 years agoLe Pop Up NEVER CONSENT est invasif, il n'apporte rien qu'une gène répétitive: JE DESINSTALLE GHOSTERY
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16791879, 2 years agoI would rather give a star to FF itself not Ghostery as it worked so well for me, however, the very latest Firefox update broke most of my addons incl this. I hate the fact that I allowed to update FireFox for it to happen. Now I have all sorts crap happening due to stupid Firefox update. Makes me wonder, is Firefox also going the money way to allow ads. I did reinstall, even deleted everything by FF to have a fresh installation but no, still not working.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17385035, 2 years agoGhostery стал блокировать сайт Яндекса. Отображается просто белая страница. Работало корректно до последнего обновления Firefox. Надеюсь пофиксят.
