- by Mattparsons, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Good app turned S$&#y. Why an ad blocker started showing adds, slowed down my broswings, and stole my attention that was supposed to prevent all these things did exactly the opposite. Terrible app

posted 2 years agoGhostery Rewards operates locally, meaning it is completely contained within your browser and does not transmit personal information back to Ghostery, Cliqz, or any other third party companies. It can be disabled by going into the Ghostery settings and turning off the toggle for Rewards. Send an email to support@ghostery.com if you have any questions or concerns. - by Firefox user 15456652, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5

- by trav, 3 years agoRated 1 out of 5too complicated, too much stuff going on, too many settings. I need something that just blocks stuff without so many pop-ups of it's own...

- by Firefox user 15254007, 3 years agoRated 1 out of 5This Ghostery extension disfigures *every* web page for 10 seconds with a bright purple display in the lower right corner of the web page showing all the trackers it has blocked.
Yes, bright purple junk added to *every* web page for 10 seconds.
Highly distracting and unacceptable for any extension to add spam to web pages.
This extension *must* be changed (in order to not consider it being spam itself) to have an option to allow not showing that purple non-static (hence distracting) spam for 10 seconds on every web page.
Obviously I am uninstalling this spamware now, after incorrectly blaming the problem on the newest version 69 of Firefox (which btw actually recommended this Ghostery extension).Developer response
posted 3 years agoThis setting can be disabled by clicking the Ghostery icon > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > click "purple box" > uncheck the box that says "show the purple box in the corner of my browser".
