Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Firefox user 12343100
Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 12343100, 4 years agoWith Privacy Badger losing its manual controls, I decided to stop using that. Gave Ghostery another try. It works most of the time, but has too many problems. It's overzealous blocking things it's not supposed to block. For instance, I get only the blurry thumbnails for many Washington Post photos unless I turn off Enhanced Ad Blocking. It even keeps me logged out of that site unless EAB is disabled. Are you kidding me??? Ghostery also blocks Disqus by default on every site. I shouldn't have to manually unblock it on every site. That's a really dumb waste of my time. In the end, I switched back to Adblock Plus. Maybe not as comprehensive, but not a pain in the neck, either.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18696087, 12 days agoGhostery worked flawlessly for eight years, prohibitinig all ads from even appearing on my AOL email account.
Then last week, constantly-changing ads began showinig up above my emails.
I contacted Ghostery and sent several requested screenshots of my email page and the ads themselves and waited for a reply, ideally a fix to block all those ads. Since then, I've been ignored.
Ghostery, I believe a response is in order. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18704417, 13 days ago
