Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Lance Esgard
Rated 5 out of 5
by Lance Esgard, 9 míonna ó shinThe Never Consent alone makes this essential, as it just works in a way certain other 'set default cookie settings' addons don't.
Ghostery is the best anti-tracking add-on available and should be used even if you also use a dedicated Adblocker (you can either disable the ad-blocking part of Ghostery, or still keep it on for more comprehensive coverage).
The UI is second-to-none, but when first installing it would help if there is a clearer indication that Ghostery has a Settings menu. There are actually useful options in there to take greater control over what type or specific trackers are and are not allowed, but this can be overlooked if you just do a quick set-up and only press the Extension icon when you need to whitelist a site.
When hovering over the Trust Site, Pause Ghostery and especially Restrict Site, adding a highlight colour or a text glow effect would improve the contrast and accessibility for some users/lighting conditions.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18696087, 5 lá ó shinGhostery 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, 5 lá ó shin

Ghostery Team- Rated 3 out of 5by Soy H, 21 lá ó shinI’ve contacted the support team about an issue that’s causing layout problems on a specific site. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with everything else, and it would be even better if this issue could be resolved.

posted 12 lá ó shinHi there,
Thanks for reaching out! We have released a fix for piccrew.me yesterday (19.11..24) and should be live for all users. It was quite complicated case. Thanks for your patience!
If it now works to your satisfaction, changing your rating would be much appreciated by the entire Ghostery Team.
All the best - Rated 2 out of 5by Alex K, 21 lá ó shinEvery time I turn on Ghostery, picrew.me just won’t load. I thought it was the site at first, but it works perfectly fine when Ghostery is off. Honestly, the product feels pretty unstable and could really use some improvement.
