posted 2 years agoHi there,
We understand your frustration! Sorry for that! The Ghostery tracker library updates automatically every 24h but the date does not change in the UI, except you update it manually. The support team communicated this in our email conversations.
We are funneling all our efforts towards an extensively reworked version of Ghostery, adapting to upcoming changes imposed upon browser extensions developers by major industry players.
For more insights into these advancements, we encourage you to explore the following resource: https://www.ghostery.com/blog/category/manifest-v3.
While this is no excuse, we also have a substantial user interface update in the pipeline where the issue you mention will be addressed.
Please have a bit more patience! We're happy to be of service and help protect your privacy online!
Ghostery Team- Rated 1 out of 5by Rochelle Shepherd, 2 years agoIt does not work at all. I keep experiencing pop up advertising, and game apps from Google Play Store every minute. Even on Netflix it is constant and extremely frustrating. I installed Firefox as well with Ghostery and it has not worked.

What we know at the moment is that sometimes Youtube shows the message "You're offline. Check your connection." Simply reloading the page helps fix this based on our research.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bernard, 3 years agoNot compatible with FF 122.0.1
A 'must have' tool with an ensemble of blockers, never fails. Also, never works with the latest FireFox update. I need to enable Ghostery every page, every restart.Developer response

I wonder if they all got paid to say that. I can't even get the dern thing to install. Another chunk of garbage that makes Android continue to suck.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14034608, 3 years agoIt works well on chrome but terribly on Firefox. I see ads everywhere with the extension enabled.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lucillus, 3 years agoI gave it a try, but it takes ages to load and allows ads before it loads, which uBlock origin doesn't. Whoever tells you this is better than uBlock is lying to you ;)

posted 3 years agoHi there, thanks for your review! Here is a comparison between Ghostery and uBlock: https://www.ghostery.com/comparisons/ghostery-ublock-origin - Rated 1 out of 5by Beverly0807, 3 years agoI would LOVE to enjoy this add-on, but it's not working! Today, there were 27 trackers that Ghostery recorded but there is no way for me to manually stop them. What's up with that Ghostery?
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi there, please reach out to support@ghostery.com. Ghostery blocks trackers by default, there should be no need for manual interaction to stop them. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17951621, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17393704, 3 years agoI'm seeing ads on YouTube, this extension cannot do its job.
- Rated 1 out of 5by edem87, 3 years agoIt has started failing on youtube. Back to ublock, I guess....
