- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14189190, 5 years agoGenerally excellent but just reporting that the last update a week or so ago is breaking many web sites and hanging Firefox downloading of content. I have tried disabling add-ons one by one and Ghostery is the culprit. Parts of pages (content files for frames, CSS, JS, etc) are being stopped (leaving the page incomplete or corrupt) but, if you reload (smetimes have to do this 2 or 3 times) they then often load. Other sites, not loading any trackers being stopped (so Ghostery reports clean) error with Ghostery enabled but load OK with it disabled. There is evidently some bug in the recent update, perhaps around the API with Firefox or timing? They all worked fine two weeks ago before the update with Ghostery enabled.

posted 5 years agoHey there, Thanks for reporting this. Can you shoot us an email at support@ghostery.com so we can be sure to get this issue addressed? Also, it sounds like you are setting your blocking settings on a page by page basis.. if you click on settings > General SEttings and select "Block All" You will be automatically blocking all trackers detected rather than how you described. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14063125, 5 years agoПропускает янднекс.директ. Замето притормаживал фаерфокс. После удаления этого расширения, проблема пропала. Не нашел как добавить в список блокировки в ручную.

posted 6 years agoHej, kan du sende os nogle eksempler på dette? Tak skal du have! support@ghostery.com- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13887771, 6 years agoTested on FirefoxDeveloperEdition v60.0b5. The plugin is too resource-expensive, it considerably slows down the whole navigation experience - Firefox seems not to react sometimes (I tested it with only Ghostery enabled). This does not happen in chrome.

Every time they do an update they turn off all the protection and here I am flying along thinking I'm covered. After putting up with this for the last year I've decided that this company is not trying to protect us it's protecting the advertisers.

posted 6 years agocan you shoot us an email so we can try and help out? support@ghostery.com - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13829430, 6 years agoAdd-on installé depuis plusieurs années et qui fonctionnait assez bien. Ces derniers mois, j'ai dû désactiver l'application car ça buggait constamment, m'obligeant à relancer Firefox, m'empêchait d'accéder à certains sites pourtant sûrs (syndrome de la page blanche). Finalement, je l'ai désinstallé. Trop de bugs ! Dommage.

posted 6 years agoDésolé pour le dérangement. Nous venons de publier 8.0.9.7 qui a résolu de nombreux problèmes. Nous espérons que vous nous donnerez un autre essai! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13683167, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by NoSpeak, 6 years agoThe latest interface took away a lot of easy functionality and quick access. It looks prettier but less useful. It also causes a lot of problems on a number of sites that the older versions of Ghostery had no issue with. Like blocking audio, comments etc. No matter if I uncheck everything, the only way they work is to disable Ghostery or set the site as trusted.
