When you install this no customize window pops up (like in the ff desktop version). Even when I go to the ghostery add on page there are no settings,i even tried disabling and enabling the extension which worked for another extension. I guess I'll have to uninstall and rethink ghostery.

Ghostery is the best thing since any app or extension has been created! I couldn't feel more safe, cannot imagine not having it!

The latest updates have slowed down navigation. It was once great, now I do not like and it's also unsafe for privacy. I have uninstalled it. I prefer other products lighter, more secure and from independent developers.

Estensione 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

Ghostery 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.

Although excellent in concept, if you delete cookies at the end of your browsing session, Ghostery loses record of *all* the tracking you want to block. Which I describe as a fatal flaw, because cookie removal is one of the basic things that you would expect a privacy-conscious user to do.

Seems like a bizarre thing for the devs to miss. I mean, who else would use Ghostery?

Otherwise, if you don't clear your cookies, Ghostery is an excellent tool that seems to do everything it promises, quickly and tidily.

Or simply install Disconnect. A company who's business model is you, the user, is not a company users should trust.

Some say that Ghostery, Inc. plays a dual role in the online advertising industry. Ghostery blocks sites from gathering personal information. But it does have an opt-in feature GhostRank that can be checked to "support" them. GhostRank takes note of ads encountered and blocked, and sends that information back to advertisers so they can better formulate their ads to avoid being blocked.[9] Though Ghostery claims that the data are anonymized, patterns of web page visits cannot truly be anonymized.[10] Thus not everyone sees Evidon's business model as conflict-free. "Evidon has a financial incentive to encourage the program's adoption and discourage alternatives like Do Not Track and cookie blocking as well as to maintain positive relationships with intrusive advertising companies," says Jonathan Mayer, a Stanford grad student and privacy advocate.[11]Some say that Ghostery, Inc. plays a dual role in the online advertising industry.

is help me a lot

Bonjour,

Comment sauvegarder ses préférences ? pas de possibilité dans le cloud ?

cordialement,

Thanks for sharing this add-on ,liked it ,totally different from the ghostery

Love Ghostery. In Ver. 7.1.1.5 (and versions from November 2016 to this ver.), if 'Accept cookies from sites' option is not checked in Firefox v.50.1.0 (and the prior version), Options, Privacy section, even if they are accepted for just that page, the Ghostery trackers do not appear. It was as difficult figuring out this bug over the last two months as solving Will Shortz Sunday Puzzle on NPR. I have to rest now... I'm exhausted.

Gets rid of the junk that makes reading anything on the web plain annoying and does it without breaking anything. Have been using for years. Thanks Ghostery for your work and dedication.

Ghostery is a decent product for the novice user who wants basic privacy. I would add other options to the extension, but then it may not be free any more when it provides options. But free is free and is not a bad extension.

Good for me

Well ghostery, I see that you have gone back to deleting reviews about people having real problems with your addon.  I thought this was solved a couple of months ago.  Most of these negative reviews are people having real problems with your addon (like me) and some have written into your tech support for help (like me) and may or may not have got help for there problems.  I've worked in a highly technical field for many years and this type of practice that business do just to get better rating gets me upset.  If you want better ratings, try fixing the problems you have with you product.  I've been keeping a daily eye out on people writing reviews for your product on this site or others sites, and I notice that a lot of these customers were using older versions of ghostery, with little or no complaints, until they switch to ghostery v7.  Some of these complaints were new customer using ghostery v7 for the first time and had problems right away.  These people are real customers, not statistics on some web site.  Communicate with them!!!  Work with them!!! Just don't ignore them and delete them!!!  I've been a long time ghostery user with no complaints about ghostery until ghostery v7 came out.  Like it or not, ghostery v7 has problems, that many people writing these reviews have told you.  STOP IGNORING PEOPLE AND FIX YOUR PRODUCT.  Because I thought ghostery before version 7 was good, I will give you three stars.

Ghostery 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.

Fehler-Lösung ;)

Ghostery hat vielleicht zusammen mit Firefox ein hässliches Problem:
Wenn ich diesen Link nach einem Neustart geklickt habe,

https://extension.ghostery.com/de/settings

dann haben immer wieder in den oberen 3 Rubriken ein paar Tracker gefehlt, obwohl Ghostery immer die neueste Tracker-Liste geladen hat.

Es muss sich ein Script eingenistet gehabt haben, welches beim Start von FF die Liste manipuliert.

about:support Firefox bereinigen...

hat geholfen. Allerdings alle AddOns neu installieren und alles neu konfigurieren.

Solche Extensions wird man damit auch los:

OS ist Ubuntu 16.04

It is amazing how much of our online use is monitored. This program shows us and allows us to block it all for each site. It is great to use!

I use Ghostery in conjunction with Adblockplus and NoScript and they seem to coexist together without issues. I wouldn't use firefox without Ghostery its a must have addon in my opinion. The dev's are updating it on a regular basis which shows commitment and dedication to making web browsing a more trustworthy experience.

ADVANTAGES: Blocks the surveillance of a user from different sites in the Internet.
DISADVANTAGES: Sometimes prevents users from switching to another site.

Was working great until most recent update. Now checking and unchecking a box runs the risk of crashing your browser, even though the box is selected for "blocking new trackers" it still allows trackers, and overall it has been slowing down my browser's performance.

Simply the best of all

Сделайте Ghostery для Microsoft Edge.

It's not terrible, but it's not as good as it was when I first started using it. There are now better tracker-blocker extensions out there.

Been 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
