Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Marvin Finch
Rated 3 out of 5
by Marvin Finch, a year agoI used Ghostery for many years now and was very happy with it (= 5 stars). However, a couple weeks ago ads started to appear on websites again (and if you're not used to it, this is very annoying). I tried to get it to work again but no luck. Had to switch to another blocker and now I'm hassle free again. Thanks for the good time!

- Rated 5 out of 5by davva23, 2 hours agoI used this while I used Firefox as my browser. It did what it said it would do, has an intuitive user interface and lets you easily see what it is doing.
I recommend it for folks still using Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ro, 13 hours agoWorks great for me, and allows to open ads again for sites you trust and support!
- Rated 5 out of 5by 4nd, a day agoFirefoxに存在する他の広告ブロック系の拡張機能と比較した場合、Ghoateryの利点はずばり「シンプルで分かりやすいこと」です。
ここで比較対象となるのはublock originやAdguardなどになりますが、それらとは異なりフィルターを選択・管理することがまず無いというのは大きな利点でしょう。ダウンロード時点でブロック機能は十分であり、強いて挙げれば言語ごとのフィルターを選ぶ程度(それも初期時点で自国の言語は対応しています)。
一部要素を非表示するようなカスタマイズ性を求め出すと少し物足りないかもしれませんが、取り敢えず広告を防ぎたいライトユーザーとしては問題ないかと思います。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17517347, 2 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Waterfall, 3 days agoI've been using Ghostery for about 4 years now, really useful to not get flooded by ads.
My father recommended me this to get rid of trackers, wasn't sure about how useful it was to install that kind of extension. Right now I don't feel comfy going on Firefox without my ghostery active.
Really love the feature that refuses cookies on every single page. Prevents me to find the little "continue without accepting", that annoying windows just goes off and you're free to navigate on their website without sending your datas.
Couldn't recommend this extension more ! A big thanks for the team :)Developer response

Ghostery Team- Rated 5 out of 5by AlexMerlin, 5 days agoI've been using Ghostery for 7 years already and I can say that it saved me from a couple of unwanted ads, popups, trackers...
As long as I'm browsing the internet, this trusty little addon will stay in my browser doing it's job like an unseen superhero.
Like they say: not all heroes wear capes... some wear sheets. :)Developer response

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18618580, 5 days agoWas an AdBlocker user from Windows XP on. Switched to Ghostery when I started using Mozilla instead of IE11. Runs quietly and does it's job. Still compatible on Win7 Pro 64 platform. Computing is flawless and so is privacy.

J'utilise Ghostery depuis 2014. J'ai installé l'extension sur tous les navigateurs que j'utilise : Firefox, Chrome et Safari. J'apprécie tellement le service que je verse chaque année ma contribution. Ghostery offre trois qualités qui le rendent unique :
- L'extention est très stable et ne fait pas planter le navigateur. Ghostery ne ralenti pas non plus la navigation. Ghostery fonctionne parfaitement sur Fedora Linux et macOS (les deux OS que j'utilise). Pour mes usages, Ghostery est également très facile d'accès.
- Ghostery est mis à jour régulièrement et propose une protection très efficace, même pour les services de streaming.
- Ghostery propose des newsletters très bien faites et très utiles

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by K.L., 5 days agoI've been using Ghostery across multiple browsers and multiple devices since the beta release. It still remains one of the 3 essential privacy extensions I insist upon securing your online activities with. The team has always updated the extension consistently and smoothly. Pretty much every other core extension I've used over the years has either had rough patches, controversies, or went straight belly-up. Never a hiccup with this one.

- Rated 4 out of 5by T3chN1nja, 5 days agoWhy did the developer or developers decide to do one of the dumbest redesigns? I don't buy the based on user input BS. Typical statement made by poor developer design. Yes I've done website and app design. Put the "Pause Ghostery" button back when you click on the icon. It's quicker vs going into the settings. Like why? I need to be able to quickly toggle the pause frequently and now it's more clicks for zero reasons. I can still pause my UBlock Origin that way right on the icon click. But in it's place you tell the user where to go find it. We want the pause button back!

"Pause on this site" is back in the panel. Unfortunately you cannot make use of it on Firefox as the version carrying it is pending review with the Mozilla AMO team. It's released on all other browsers.

We have a solution for these endless cookie popups and it affects only Firefox users. Unfortunately you cannot make use of the solution as we are stuck in the extension review process with Mozilla for now.
