- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14175147, 6 years agoBasically useless. It can't preemptively prevent cookies from being set. You have to go to the site which of course instantly sets a bunch of cookies, and only THEN you can block the site's trackers. Which means that for every site that's new to Ghostery, you'll have to go in and manually delete the dozens of cookies that got set. It's a whole LOT of work compared to what it would be if you could preemptively block all trackers.
Note that I do have global blocking and block all turned on, they just don't seem to work right.Developer response
posted 6 years agoSorry about that! Could you please shoot us over an email to support@ghostery.com so we can look into it? Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Stin, 6 years agoI am quite disappointed in the direction the creator has taken this extension.
After years of use, I will never use this again due to the many concerns their recent developments have raised. I will be very careful to not use anything created by them in the future. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14160166, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14159623, 6 years agoA chaque ouverture de Firefox, une page intempestive de Ghostery s'ouvre, et m'invite à "Surfer malin" (pas facile avec ce bug) et me demande comment je dois démarrer l'application (Ghostery) LOL ça devient redondant j'en ai marre et ne vais pas tarder à virer tout ça si le correctif se fait attendre !

Claude - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14153341, 6 years agoImplements the display of ads and sets the opt-in WITHOUT user agreement. Inacceptable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14152628, 6 years agoGhostery mit Werbung.. somit fliegt das Addon runter von sämtlichen Firefox Installationen..
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14152441, 6 years agoWar ein hervorragendes Add-On, jetzt mit Rewards vollkommen unbrauchbar.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14151870, 6 years agoIn der Vergangenheit war Ghostery ein großartiges Add-On. Mit den Werbeeinblendungen ist es für mich jedoch vollständig inakzeptabel geworden - schlagartig von 5 auf 1 Stern. Danke an die Entwickler für die Arbeit in der Vergangenheit, aber ich bin raus. Ghostery ist bereits deinstalliert.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13074631, 6 years agoYou should definitely use uBlock Origin.
It's open-source, doesn't sell your data and not part of Cliqz.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHey there. Ghostery is open-source (https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/) and does not sell data. But yes.. We are owned by Cliqz. Feel free to send us an email to discuss further. support@ghostery.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Jarco, 6 years agoWas a must-have add-on for me, but now after you guys managed to celebrate GDPR by sending out hundreds of e-mails that exposed your users email addresses.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13200774, 6 years agoWenn ich das Add-on in der portablen Version von Firefox installieren möchte wird es als nicht kompatibel registriert. Ich brauche aber die portable Version, da ich bei meinem vom Arbeitgeber gestellten Computer keine administrativen Rechte habe.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14073008, 6 years agoUne extension faite par des branques, c.f. l'échec monstrueux d'envoi de mails en copie visible à tous les utilisateurs.
En plus de ça, l'extension envoie des informations à chaque ouverture du navigateur :
https://www.dsfc.net/internet/tracking/un-tracker-cache-dans-ghostery/
Il n'y a strictement aucune raison de ne pas utiliser uBlock à la place, qui en plus fait bloqueur de publicités.
C'est étonnant que Mozilla mette une telle extension en avant.Developer response

support@ghostery.com. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13241665, 6 years agoCan't download it because it says because of a connection failure. Seems to be a common problem with firefox. Seems like they would have fixed it by now since alot of people can't download any add ons because of it.

posted 6 years agoHey there.. can you send us an email to support@ghostery.com so we can help out? let us know which version of Firefox you are running. Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by hoggys2much, 6 years agoTerrible rubbish extension. I found it to be SLOWING firefox down instead of speeding it up and it blocked me out of some of my most used sites. On one site despite disabling the tracking it still wouldn't let me in. Now that I have disabled it on Firefox everything is working fine.
DO NOT USE THIS RUBBISH ADD-ON!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for giving us a shot.. would love to have more info to see if we can't solve those issues moving forward. support@ghostery.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14060281, 6 years agoGhostery is breaking our application (by replacing IDs in legitimate requests sent to our backend), causing Denial of Service for our users who have Ghostery installed. Their support has been unresponsive for more than 2 weeks. This is simply not OK.
