- Rated 4 out of 5by Rina, 8 years agoThank you for developing this app. I'm tired of seeing FB post/share buttons on websites as I'm trying to browse in privacy. It's a pain to remember to log out every time. I'm glad I can browse with a bit more security and without the clutches of social media platforms following me.
The only problem is that it makes it so hard to shop via google. All links I click to get to a product are blocked by ghostery. I always have to disable it before shopping online. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12925701, 8 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12813524, 8 years agoEstensione davvero utile in quanto mi ha permesso di ridurre drasticamente lo spam sulla mia casella di posta yahoo (da 10 al giorno a 1 massimo 2 alla settimana), unica pecca ogni qualche giorno si disconnette da sola dal mio account e lo capisco in quanto ricevo puntualmente delle spam... allora controllo ed effettivamente devo rifare il login! se qualcuno può aiutarmi ne sarei grato.... 5 stelle mancate solo per questo bug più che difetto
- Rated 4 out of 5by Charles Foster, 8 years agoGhostery is aimed at the paranoid among us. It's designed to inform a user about the trackers that are following her as she browses a site. What it does well is provide an unobtrusive set of notifications and graphics about the technologies working behind the scenes to show ads, track clicks, integrate social media, and monitor the site's engagement. Honestly, without it I would have no clue by whom (and where) I'm being tracked. Even beyond that, though, it gives you easy, custom control over which trackers to trust and when. I can tell it to block a tracker on a single site, or multiple ones. I could even go dark, blocking all of the trackers Ghostery knows of and any new ones it finds.
But as much as it informs and reassures, a few things do trouble me. Given that it is an add-on aimed at security, I was expecting that the full functionality would be available without any registration. Unfortunately, some of Ghostery's advanced features are hidden behind a login wall (albeit a free one). More to the point, the add-on comes with "page and tracker data" sharing automatically enabled, rather than defaulting to privacy and letting users freely consent to that sharing. I'm sure I'm not alone in worrying what the folks at Ghostery are doing with that data.
For better or for worse, this add-on will open your eyes about the zoo of data-hungry trackers following your every click. - Rated 4 out of 5by Polynésia, 8 years agoBonjour,

cordialement, - Rated 4 out of 5by Faculty Row Spam, 8 years agoThanks for sharing this add-on ,liked it ,totally different from the ghostery
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jill Greens, 8 years agoGhostery may have an ugly problem with Firefox: missing a few tracker, although add-on has always loaded the latest Tracker list.
There must have been a script, which manipulates the list when FF starts.
About support: has helped. However, had to reinstall all add-ons and re-configure everything. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12687951, 8 years agoADVANTAGES: Blocks the surveillance of a user from different sites in the Internet.
DISADVANTAGES: Sometimes prevents users from switching to another site. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12238448, 8 years agoBeen using for several years with no problems. Did a great job but not with Firefox 50 update, blocking stats do not show and clicking on the icon only produces a blank page. Tried reinstalling and updating...no luck
- Rated 4 out of 5by PimPam, 8 years agoHace lo mismo o quizas mejor, Aun no se!!! pero que las paguinas no lo notan tanto como AdBlock para obligarte a desactivarlo!
es lo bueno que tiene!!!!
Gracias - Rated 4 out of 5by Waldi, 8 years agoGhoster v7 stops working with Firefox 49.0.2 indicating null attacks in every site. To fix the problem I removed the add-on, restarted Firefox, installed Ghoster again and restarted Firefox. So, now it seems to work fine again.
P.S. I use NoScript and Adblock Plus additionally.
