Avis de Teominious
Noté 4 sur 5
par Teominious, il y a 4 moisAfter many a year using AdBlock Plus without any qualms, gripes, annoyances, or other issues specifically to block Youtube ads, Google made the brilliant decision to start a self-fulfilling prophecy by blocking access to the site for those that use such an extension
Barring the fact this is the web equivalent of mandating the installation of cameras on every television set, (such that the cable provider can remove service from those whom aren't confirmed to be watching and listening throughout the entirety of every break) even if I disabled AB+ (Something I didn't even consider doing due to Google;'s increasingly anti-creator, way-too-particular rules), I would likely be seeing the popups anyway as a result of NextDNS being implemented across the entire household, and me browsing almost-exclusively in Private/Incognito mode.
As such, my journey found me happening upon Ghostery, and after a bit of research, I figured it was worth a go.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the decision to swap over, as I didn't realise how much I'd rather just go right into a site without any cookies needing to be configured, and start doing what I actually came to.
However, while the extension did as-promised and blocked off the unwanted window, it only did that for a time, as the window popped up again this most recent session
Oddly, though, it went away and stopped showing up after a time, so it seems as though it still blocks the lockout, but not the window itself.
I suspect this to be fixed in a future update, though, and also will revise this review to 5 stars if it is, but either way, if you'd like total privacy not just on Youtube, but literally everywhere, give this a go!

- Noté 5 sur 5par Noah Machemer, il y a 6 joursI have been using this service for a long time, and it never fails to disappoint me. All the annoying ads are blocked, and I no longer have to worry about my information being distributed. The user interface is so user-friendly, and the stats just amaze me. This is a great extension for all those out there that care about their safety online.

- Noté 2 sur 5par dada.org, il y a 8 joursappears to be working just fine in most sites ... but fails to perform correctly on YouTube ... i guess that's YT's thing though, as lately, it's been bypassing the good old AdBlocker's ad blocking filters just as well ... besides, apparently, AdBlocker is also in cahoots with YT now, thus allowing some 'harmless' ads be played ... and that's a bummer! (Google owns YT as we all know ... maybe G's to blame?!)

- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15943940 de Firefox, il y a 10 joursGhostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues

- Noté 4 sur 5par Herodotus, il y a 17 joursIn tandem with other ad and tarcker blockers such as Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, you know your browsing is safe.
The only real drawbacks are that many features on a website are blocked, including captchas, and soetimes entire websites that arelegitimate won't allow you to access them. in that case, I must open another browser with Ghostery installed to access them, which is a bit of a pain, but easily overcome if you recognise what's going on.
So 4 out 5 Stars is generous, as the limitations placed on regualr browsing can sometimes outweigh the benefits, - Noté 5 sur 5par Ambrus, il y a 18 jours

- Noté 4 sur 5par Anonymous, il y a 19 joursGhostery needs to have AI update the adblocker because YouTube keeps bypassing it needs updated don't use their browser until they do update for the meantime use Adguard guys! If ghostery reads this PLEASE patch your adblocker thanks! Nothing bad YouTube algorithm is managing to find ways to bypass adblockers be careful guys!
