- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12093425, 4 years agoI've had Ghostery installed on Firefox for years now and it's served me well, but I just removed it & won't be back—Ghostery has become increasingly commercialized and with its latest update is repeatedly intruding with pop-up ads of its own trying to hock its monthly paid "premium" service. Ghostery's become an ad-blocker that—bewilderingly—shows you ads; moreover, there's no functionality it provides that other privacy add-ons don't/can't.
Do yourself a favor and skip clicking the install button & just close the tab. - Rated 1 out of 5by avichal, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15963245, 4 years agoGibt vor, ein datenschutzorientierter Werbeblocker zu sein - und blendet dabei selbst penetrante Werbung ein - und das unter Mißachtung des Datenschutzes: So werden auf den Seiten von Onlineshops sehr extreme Einblendungen von Mitbewerbern gezeigt! Ganz übel! Dieser "Werbeblocker" ist meines Erachtens Betrug am Benutzer! VORSICHT!

此插件中的“Ghostery Rewards”功能默认是开启的,具体功能就是把用户的隐私信息发送给和开发者合作的特定公司。Developer response

Thanks!- Rated 1 out of 5by Low power, 4 years agoSignificantly affected performance after installing, for example I can't even smoothly switch between tabs using Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown when this addon is enabled.
Edit: I'm just looking for an addon that blocking JavaScript from certain sites, it seems this addon is overweight for me.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Islenya, 4 years agoThis used to be an excellent privacy extension until Microsoft acquired it. Now it is just as untrustworthy as Google.
