    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.

    This extension allows youtube to play ADS once in awhile. It does NOT completely eliminate ADS.

    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!

    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.

    Was working fine until a while ago. now every time i start firefox it is enabled but when i open a site like youtube or news, there are all sorts of ads showing. have to toggle it a couple of times to get it working.

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

    I 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.

    I 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.
