- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18618580, 2 months agoWas an AdBlocker user from Windows XP on. Switched to Ghostery when I started using Mozilla instead of IE11. Runs quietly and does it's job. Still compatible on Win7 Pro 64 platform. Computing is flawless and so is privacy.

J'utilise Ghostery depuis 2014. J'ai installé l'extension sur tous les navigateurs que j'utilise : Firefox, Chrome et Safari. J'apprécie tellement le service que je verse chaque année ma contribution. Ghostery offre trois qualités qui le rendent unique :
- L'extention est très stable et ne fait pas planter le navigateur. Ghostery ne ralenti pas non plus la navigation. Ghostery fonctionne parfaitement sur Fedora Linux et macOS (les deux OS que j'utilise). Pour mes usages, Ghostery est également très facile d'accès.
- Ghostery est mis à jour régulièrement et propose une protection très efficace, même pour les services de streaming.
- Ghostery propose des newsletters très bien faites et très utiles

Ghostery Team - Rated 5 out of 5by K.L., 2 months agoI've been using Ghostery across multiple browsers and multiple devices since the beta release. It still remains one of the 3 essential privacy extensions I insist upon securing your online activities with. The team has always updated the extension consistently and smoothly. Pretty much every other core extension I've used over the years has either had rough patches, controversies, or went straight belly-up. Never a hiccup with this one.

- Rated 4 out of 5by T3chN1nja, 2 months agoWhy did the developer or developers decide to do one of the dumbest redesigns? I don't buy the based on user input BS. Typical statement made by poor developer design. Yes I've done website and app design. Put the "Pause Ghostery" button back when you click on the icon. It's quicker vs going into the settings. Like why? I need to be able to quickly toggle the pause frequently and now it's more clicks for zero reasons. I can still pause my UBlock Origin that way right on the icon click. But in it's place you tell the user where to go find it. We want the pause button back!

"Pause on this site" is back in the panel. Unfortunately you cannot make use of it on Firefox as the version carrying it is pending review with the Mozilla AMO team. It's released on all other browsers.

We have a solution for these endless cookie popups and it affects only Firefox users. Unfortunately you cannot make use of the solution as we are stuck in the extension review process with Mozilla for now.
For any questions, please email us at support@ghostery.com

Ghostery Team - Rated 4 out of 5by Alex, 2 months agoI have used Ghostery for so long. It has blocked various ads and trackers, making feel safe while being on the internet. However, I think recently the extension had gone through an update of some sort. After the update, it has not been blocking any ads and there are so many pop ups. If this continues to happen, I might consider using a different extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12845766, 3 months agoFor about two weeks embedded 'Youtube' videos will not play on any websites. Filed a detailed report on Ghostery Support Page and have not had any response (That was a huge waste of time!). Worked great for years. Give it another day or two before I completely remove it. UPDATE: Support couldn't replicate. Asked for screenshot and other routine nonsense (I thought they were going to ask me to unplug Youtube and plug it back in! ) Never asked if I was signed into Youtube. That was the problem. CAN'T BE SIGNED INTO YOUTUBE. The only way around it is to turn-off AD TRACKING "globally" (every website) The specific Youtube site "exceptions" don't work as they should. I wonder how many people have this problem and just simply give up without contacting support and remove GHOSTERY. Might be many. One percent would be 10,000. Nah..I'm sure it's just me.

We only had one support request regarding embedded Youtube videos, which we replied to asking for examples of websites where this happens. We can only find solutions if we can reproduce the situation.
Thanks for your cooperation!

- Rated 5 out of 5by sebigbos, 3 months agoGhostery is a great anti-track and anti-ad tool with abundant possibilities to adjust it to your needs. But it works already great just out of the box.
The support is marvelous.
