its okay

With Privacy Badger losing its manual controls, I decided to stop using that. Gave Ghostery another try. It works most of the time, but has too many problems. It's overzealous blocking things it's not supposed to block. For instance, I get only the blurry thumbnails for many Washington Post photos unless I turn off Enhanced Ad Blocking. It even keeps me logged out of that site unless EAB is disabled. Are you kidding me??? Ghostery also blocks Disqus by default on every site. I shouldn't have to manually unblock it on every site. That's a really dumb waste of my time. In the end, I switched back to Adblock Plus. Maybe not as comprehensive, but not a pain in the neck, either.

Ghostery 8.5.1 seems to be messing up cursor in Windows 10 Insider build 20175.

Blocks most ads and pop-ups. But recently, not with YouTube. It does block the ad content but a "skip ad/5 sec" things still shows up.

そもそも消えないのもありますが、オーバーレイ～プルダウンするタイプの広告だと、消えてくれても表示されるリンク先だけが消えて、(タグ自体は残ってるので)フレームと削除ボタンのみ残りスライドしてくる感じになったり。

It was good and I was able to use it for what I need to do, but I noticed my hard drive was access 10 fold when I had this extension installed. I wonder about that, used it for a day and decided to remove it and now my system is back to normal. 🤔

Das PopUp, das gesperrte Tracker zeigt lässt sich nicht deaktivieren. Das nervt auf einem kleinen Display. Deinstalliert.

Just a comment to the developers. For an extension that is supposed to block ads and make my browsing experience smoother and less annoying... you pulled a truly boneheaded move. The very first site I went to after installing the Ghostery extension was Quora, and before I even had a chance to login to that site, what happened?

GHOSTERY POPPED UP AN AD ASKING ME TO UPGRADE TO A PAID VERSION OF ITSELF!

Really? I mean, you couldn't at least wait a day or two for me to try it out first? My very first experience with your ad-blocking capabilities is an AD FROM YOU suggesting that I upgrade? What were you thinking?

It looks like a nice enough product if it does what it says it does, but you would think at the very least it would make a more intentional effort to follow its own guiding principles. It's somewhat hypocritical the way it happened.
