Whoever is managing Ghostery needs to go. Uninstalling.

Keeps spamming it's own adverts in the form of popups. once good now useless bloatware trash. To Dev response: I did all that before making my review and it still popped up the special ghostery offer every single time I opened browser. The issue is now resolved by removing ghostery from my browser. Ghostery was redundant anyway since I run abp and don't have to deal with pop-up from them. I am also going to say that I highly doubt this has a legit 4.4 star rating and going to suggest that it only does due to click bots.

NEXT!
------------------EDIT------------------------
OK, so you block ads, but spam us UNLESS we jump through your settings hoops to turn off your spam.
What ever.... STILL NEXT!

- Rated 1 out of 5by roarTheLoneWolf, pirms 4 gadiemExtension has worked extremely well in the past with good control options to block even just individual trackers. However, this week Ghostery has suddenly stopped working on Facebook and Twitch which I now receive ads. Some ads show up on other websites as well but they are sporadic and appear but seem "broken". Hopefully, Ghostery will work on this soon! Unwanted ads are annoying! Especially a couple in a row!
Month Later and Ghostery now completely does not work.Developer response
