Rated 4.5 out of 5
4.5 star average
- Rated 5 out of 5Good
- Rated 4 out of 5Grundsätzlich bin ich zufrieden. Aber es ist ärgerlich, dass Ghostery immer wieder, etwa nach Firefox-Updates, verschwindet und neu heruntergeladen/hinzugefügt werden muss.

- Rated 3 out of 5In order to clarify the situation for everyone, does the new version on Ghostery collect log in details?

posted 5 days agoHi, in order for Ghostery to block trackers and ads, it needs to be able to detect and take action on elements of a web page as you browse. We do not record sensitive information(including login credentials as you browse), record browsing history, or disclose user data. Note that despite the prompt being new, Ghostery is not introducing any new permissions with the update. You can read about this in greater detail on our FAQ page, here: https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/why-am-i-being-prompted-to-approve-an-update-from-ghostery/
We are also open source, which you can view here: https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension - Rated 1 out of 5Das Addon blockt leider nict alle Werbungen bzw. ersetzt die geblockte Werbung durch ihre eigenen. Wieso?

posted 19 days agoHi, would you mind sending an email to support@ghostery.com so we can take a look? Mostly likely you will just need to adjust your Ghostery settings. - Rated 2 out of 5With the new update ghostery, now need "access to your data for all websites." It was one of the best applications for protecting personal data. Very sad, I dont want to look for other addon, it’s good that there is an possibility not to update

Unfortunately the plugin requires that permission in order to read the website content and block trackers.
I don't think anything has changed in that regard other than firefox making this more transparent.
It's a fact of life that you should probably only install addons that you trust since most of them can hook into the firefox api and read whatever data they want.
Ironically, you were okay when this process was opaque but now when you are warned about it, you no longer trust the same addons you supposedly did before.Developer response

Happy Browsing! - Rated 1 out of 5когда дополнение для конфиденциальности внезапно запрашивает данные о тебе, это так мило!
- Rated 2 out of 5Like so many other users within the last few days I have removed Ghostery for wanting to "access all data". I don't believe that it should be allowed to do that at all and seems extremely intrusive. Thank you for the time i've been with you but I shall now be using a different app that doesn't feel the need to see all of my passwords.

I have now disabled it. The reason? I am alarmed by the request to "access all data" submitted to websites. Why does Ghostery need to capture my sensitive data such as passwords? Is Ghostery GDRP compliant or should there be a referral to the Information Comissioners Office.? Come on Ghostery spill the beans why do you want all this data.

- Rated 5 out of 5ótimo programa, e um dos únicos que no modo detalhado posso escolher o que bloquear e o que não bloquear.
- Rated 5 out of 5Very handy and intuitive to work with. You can actually see how many trackers you deal with and turn them on and off for each site or everywhere. It's fun to pause and unpause it to see how many trackers you enable if you let all the trackers do their thing and how many other trackers they attract.
Using ghostery made using the web a lot faster and more comfy to me.
I still use ublock on the side and tweak both for the best experience. Ghostery and uBlock are great together. - Rated 5 out of 5Ghosteryはとても判りやすく扱いが非常に簡単です。
アイコンも可愛らしいです。
私はABPとGhosteryの２つをFirefox Quantumに入れて同時併用しています。
ABPとGhosteryの組み合わせにとても満足しています。
どちらも欠かせません。 - Rated 5 out of 5I regularly visit a site that has exploded with ads. I decided to try out Ghostery to see how it would do. I'm pleased to say, it's blocking all of the very intrusive and annoying ads. So far, it's working perfectly. Thanks!
- Rated 2 out of 5Annoying purple circle in right bottom corner. Apprently there are setting to remove it but all the infomation I find seems outdated. Settings for the add on seem to be purely about what the add on blocks.
Edit: opened the Ghostery menu > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > clicked... nothing. Just options for what to block and what not to block. Can't see anything about a purple box.Developer response
posted a month agoHi, to remove the purple box: open the Ghostery menu > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > click "Purple Box" > un-check the box that says "show purple box in the corner of my browser". Please reach out to support@ghostery.com for any questions or concerns, thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5Gut
