Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Herodotus
Rated 4 out of 5
by Herodotus, 2 years agoIn tandem with other ad and tarcker blockers such as Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, you know your browsing is safe.
The only real drawbacks are that many features on a website are blocked, including captchas, and soetimes entire websites that arelegitimate won't allow you to access them. in that case, I must open another browser with Ghostery installed to access them, which is a bit of a pain, but easily overcome if you recognise what's going on.
So 4 out 5 Stars is generous, as the limitations placed on regualr browsing can sometimes outweigh the benefits,

Many thanks for your review!
Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to test running Ghostery simultaneously with other content blockers in the browser and we recommend deciding for one as there might be issues where the different content blockers rules exclude each other.
Running multiple content blockers in parallel is for advanced users - like in your case - where you know how to recover if issues pop up.
For any questions/concerns, please reach out to support@ghostery.com

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19945542, 5 days agoI use ghostery with another adblocker, i use the extension for the track blocker feature. It produces interesting information on the amount of tracking, is easy to enable/ disable if need be. I also appreciate the newsletter, web privacy and security oriented. Ghostery also produces very interesting data on the Web, as I understand it, thanks to it's ad tracker blocker activity. I m really glad the project exists
