by User, 7 years agoThis Addon is bought by a data-company (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism ).
Don't trust it anymore!
I would better recommend installing uBlock, who is made by a free person, is open-source (everybody can read and change the code) and does not sell its users data.
(I'm sorry for any mistakes, I'm german and just want to warn you)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18085493, 2 days agoI am not a person who deals with confidential or secret stuff. I like my privacy; I want to oversee who sees what. The use of Ghostery and DuckDuckGo has not slowed down my computer but instead increased (by a small amount) its speed. Most of all, it has reduced the constant display of ads everywhere.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Starfyre, 10 days agoBeen using this add on for years now. Very useful. I see lots of people struggling with adds, trackers, meanwhile I've never had that problem.
Also it's free, so no reason not to download it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jennifer, 11 days ago
