Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Firefox user 14189190
Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 14189190, 8 years agoGenerally excellent but just reporting that the last update a week or so ago is breaking many web sites and hanging Firefox downloading of content. I have tried disabling add-ons one by one and Ghostery is the culprit. Parts of pages (content files for frames, CSS, JS, etc) are being stopped (leaving the page incomplete or corrupt) but, if you reload (smetimes have to do this 2 or 3 times) they then often load. Other sites, not loading any trackers being stopped (so Ghostery reports clean) error with Ghostery enabled but load OK with it disabled. There is evidently some bug in the recent update, perhaps around the API with Firefox or timing? They all worked fine two weeks ago before the update with Ghostery enabled.

posted 8 years agoHey there, Thanks for reporting this. Can you shoot us an email at support@ghostery.com so we can be sure to get this issue addressed? Also, it sounds like you are setting your blocking settings on a page by page basis.. if you click on settings > General SEttings and select "Block All" You will be automatically blocking all trackers detected rather than how you described.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ok, 2 days agoGot a pop up with a broken close button, so here ya go, this extension wouldve gotten one star beforehand too, since it barely works properly, if youre gonna install an ad blocker, install uBlock, atleast that actually works.
Dont waste your time on this junk. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19711369, 3 days agoVrai bloqueur de pub.
Notamment pour youtube.
A savoir que je m'en sers aussi sur mon smartphone, avec firefox, pour aussi éviter les pubs sur youtube.
Sans parler du fait qu'il refuse tjs les cookies pour nous !
Je recommande vivement ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19765753, 4 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by dummdiedei, 6 days agoIch weiß zwar nicht, was genau und wie das Programm es tut aber es ist sehr unauffällig und scheinbar auch effektiv.
Danke :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Trailblazer, 7 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ghost, 8 days agovery spooky just like me. i never know it's there because it works so fast and well, but it's always working hard to banish annoying ads and popups.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ever Renee, 12 days agoThis has truly been the best ad blocker I have ever used. It's so good, I convinced my sibling to switch from Google Chrome to Firefox as their main web browser just to use Ghostery. We do long distance watch parties on Youtube and Hulu uninterrupted now.
