Ghostery adds a really annoying and useless purple dot to every page. This can't be deactivated on MOBILE Firefox App! The solution that is posted here is only working on desktop.

I use Ghostery and today my CCleaner Pro found more than 80 trackers after a scan. Is Ghostery still working?

Works cool for ads, but the problem arises when, after a 5-10 mins of only watching video clip, this plugin raises ram memory to 2.80GB and without it I have total RAM usage at 1.44
Thanks!

Mit dem Werbeblocker bin ich zunehmend unzufrieden, er blockt immer weninger Werbung, so daß man zusätzliche Werbeblocker installieren muß.

Why the setting page pop-up when I open my firefox? How can I close this feature? I'll rate 5 stars after I done this problem.

Still shows sponsored on Facebook

It's buggy, crashes/slows things down, but what I dislike the most is its complete lack of support for customization. Really, if I can't make adjustments (without basically hacking it that is) then I don't want it.

I find it irritating that an ad blocker is showing me an ad for ghostery plus every time I open firefox. I acknowledge the existence of ghostery plus, I do not wish to have it, can you stop spamming me?

Pages open slowly when the browser is first opened for this add-on.

Really nice approach! Thanks for this! Unfortunately it slows down Firefox quite heavy so it's barely usable in combination. Loading time of pages is doubled or more as well as smooth scrolling isn't possible on loaded pages.

Ghostery has started to hide reCaptcha check boxes. Other than that, it seemed to work nicely, but that changed it from nice to annoying, especially since you won't even know that there's one that's supposed to be there to be checked! Deleted.

UPDATE: Ghostery said the problem was fixed. It has lessened, but it is not fixed. Too bad they don't know how to do a whitelist. Deleted again.

Alors je veux bien que Ghostery ne collecte pas nos données, mais c'est quoi la politique de confidentialité, celle sur la page de l'addon est datée de 2013 ???

With the new update ghostery, now need "access to your data for all websites." It was one of the best applications for protecting personal data. Very sad, I dont want to look for other addon, it’s good that there is an possibility not to update

Like so many other users within the last few days I have removed Ghostery for wanting to "access all data". I don't believe that it should be allowed to do that at all and seems extremely intrusive. Thank you for the time i've been with you but I shall now be using a different app that doesn't feel the need to see all of my passwords.

Generally excellent but just reporting that the last update a week or so ago is breaking many web sites and hanging Firefox downloading of content. I have tried disabling add-ons one by one and Ghostery is the culprit. Parts of pages (content files for frames, CSS, JS, etc) are being stopped (leaving the page incomplete or corrupt) but, if you reload (smetimes have to do this 2 or 3 times) they then often load. Other sites, not loading any trackers being stopped (so Ghostery reports clean) error with Ghostery enabled but load OK with it disabled. There is evidently some bug in the recent update, perhaps around the API with Firefox or timing? They all worked fine two weeks ago before the update with Ghostery enabled.
