- Rated 1 out of 5by Onyx, pirms 4 gadiemUsed to work. Now that there is a paid option the free one does absolutely nothing. I've reinstalled. Even signed up for a ghostery account. uninstalled and reinstalled. It does absolutely nothing.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13470358, pirms 4 gadiemERA una buena extensión hasta hace un tiempo. Ahora se ha convertido en una molestia con su suscripción premium y sus anunciantes permitidos. Firefox team, por favor dejen de colocar esto en sus extensiones recomendadas, este desarrollador ha dejado de ser de confianza.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gerty, pirms 4 gadiemyou can't switch off "Ghostery Rewards", thus you got everywhere ads ... I removed this extension, sadly after years...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16098161, pirms 4 gadiemIt was great. Now it's compromised, it allowed my search to be rerouted to a fake Firefox billionth search rewards scam site. Then didn't allow me to backtrack to my original search.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. - Rated 1 out of 5by Addy, pirms 4 gadiem

posted pirms 4 gadiemGhostery Rewards operates locally, meaning it is completely contained within your browser and does not transmit personal information back to Ghostery, or any other third-party companies. If you would like, it can be disabled at any time: Open the Ghostery menu > click the three stacked dots > click "settings" > click opt-in/out > un-check the box that reads "participating in Ghostery Rewards". Send an email to support@ghostery.com with any questions. - Rated 1 out of 5by ginabooth32, pirms 4 gadiem

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ry, pirms 4 gadiemThis add on has worked for years all up until a week ago. Now it doesn't block ads anymore and offers you a premium subscription to ghostery to get more "protection". Ghostery have now put up a paywall in order to experience what users have been receiving for years before, Sad day for the internet

posted pirms 4 gadiemHi there, Ghostery the extension still offers the same, free, protection we always have. We have introduced an option for a subscription within our extension, but it is not required to use it. Let us know if you have any questions to support@ghostery.com. - Rated 1 out of 5by AbiliTV Broadcasting, pirms 4 gadiemI have used this wonderful add on, on and off for years. Recently almost every time I open a tab, or go to a website up pops the advert for MIDNIGHT! I can't seem to turn this off. WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THIS UPGRADE? Seems the team at Ghostery figure why not irritate people after all if they use the add on they are a captive audience. It is ashamed we can't elect NOT to be bothered with this annoying advert. ISN'T That apart of why we use this add on in the first place? Uninstalling. Deserves negative 50 stars just for this issue. I would not waste the time or bandwidth to download this add on any longer. They lie about blocking ads when it's their ad that is being pushed every few moments. In fact I think I will file a complaint with Firefox, the Google Play store as they purposely mislead consumers with the claim it blocks ads.
