Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery

by Danohall, 3 сарын өмнөHave auto update enabled, but for the past year, it never shows the library as having actually updated unless I manually do it. Several emails to Ghostery and they still can't/won't fix the issue. They keep saying "it's updating even though it doesn't look like it is." Even tried uninstalling/reinstalling app but no change.

We understand your frustration! Sorry for that! The Ghostery tracker library updates automatically every 24h but the date does not change in the UI, except you update it manually. The support team communicated this in our email conversations.
We are funneling all our efforts towards an extensively reworked version of Ghostery, adapting to upcoming changes imposed upon browser extensions developers by major industry players.
For more insights into these advancements, we encourage you to explore the following resource: https://www.ghostery.com/blog/category/manifest-v3.
While this is no excuse, we also have a substantial user interface update in the pipeline where the issue you mention will be addressed.
Please have a bit more patience! We're happy to be of service and help protect your privacy online!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Noah Machemer, 17 өдрийн өмнөI have been using this service for a long time, and it never fails to disappoint me. All the annoying ads are blocked, and I no longer have to worry about my information being distributed. The user interface is so user-friendly, and the stats just amaze me. This is a great extension for all those out there that care about their safety online.

- Rated 2 out of 5by dada.org, 19 өдрийн өмнөappears to be working just fine in most sites ... but fails to perform correctly on YouTube ... i guess that's YT's thing though, as lately, it's been bypassing the good old AdBlocker's ad blocking filters just as well ... besides, apparently, AdBlocker is also in cahoots with YT now, thus allowing some 'harmless' ads be played ... and that's a bummer! (Google owns YT as we all know ... maybe G's to blame?!)

- Rated 1 out of 5by James Pirretti, 20 өдрийн өмнөWhile using this extension it attempted to block a legitimate website. When I clicked allow I got a message to use a foreign virus scanner.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15943940, 22 өдрийн өмнөGhostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues
