Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker av Ghostery

av Firefox user 14189190, 6 år sidanGenerally 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.

posta 6 år sidanHey there, Thanks for reporting this. Can you shoot us an email at support@ghostery.com so we can be sure to get this issue addressed? Also, it sounds like you are setting your blocking settings on a page by page basis.. if you click on settings > General SEttings and select "Block All" You will be automatically blocking all trackers detected rather than how you described.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Noah Machemer, 11 dagar sidanI 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.

- Vurdering: 2 av 5av dada.org, 13 dagar sidanappears 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?!)

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 15943940, 15 dagar sidanGhostery 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

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Herodotus, 22 dagar sidanIn tandem with other ad and tarcker blockers such as Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, you know your browsing is safe.
The only real drawbacks are that many features on a website are blocked, including captchas, and soetimes entire websites that arelegitimate won't allow you to access them. in that case, I must open another browser with Ghostery installed to access them, which is a bit of a pain, but easily overcome if you recognise what's going on.
So 4 out 5 Stars is generous, as the limitations placed on regualr browsing can sometimes outweigh the benefits,
