- by Firefox user 12442768, 3 months agoRated 2 out of 5This extension allows youtube to play ADS once in awhile. It does NOT completely eliminate ADS.
- by Anulackk, 7 months agoRated 2 out of 5not work like other adsblock but this one use low ram than other adblock
- by Firefox user 16721224, 8 months agoRated 2 out of 5Works 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.Developer response

- by Firefox user 13667143, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Works, but lately it feeds you a bunch of ads. Very disappointing, but I'll be moving on to some other solution because of it.

posted a year agoHi, 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. - by Firefox user 12157240, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Яндекс директ не блокирует к примеру на рамблер погоде

- by Jake Bruce, a year agoRated 2 out of 5I was using this ad blocker for months and it worked great. But recently it does not block the ad on YouTube. Sometimes, before the YouTube video start to play, there was a ad which can be skipped after 5 seconds. Please fix it. I don't want to see any ads. I'll give 5 stars if it was fixed.
- by bdoyle159, a year agoRated 2 out of 5I get an annoying popup about once a week on ALL of the computers I have synced up in Firefox asking to upgrade to pro. Uninstalled.

- by Firefox user 12976974, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5invadente , è vero che blocca la pubblicità soprattutto su youtube ma poi salta fuori ad ogni accesso e invita a passare alla versione a pagamento, inoltre ache dopo averlo disinstallato si ripresenta e si deve eliminare anche l'icona x liberarsene definitivamente
