Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Firefox user 15254007
Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 15254007, 7 years agoThis Ghostery extension disfigures *every* web page for 10 seconds with a bright purple display in the lower right corner of the web page showing all the trackers it has blocked.
Yes, bright purple junk added to *every* web page for 10 seconds.
Highly distracting and unacceptable for any extension to add spam to web pages.
This extension *must* be changed (in order to not consider it being spam itself) to have an option to allow not showing that purple non-static (hence distracting) spam for 10 seconds on every web page.
Obviously I am uninstalling this spamware now, after incorrectly blaming the problem on the newest version 69 of Firefox (which btw actually recommended this Ghostery extension).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fanny, 21 hours agoI've been using it for years. I don't know what I'd do without it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Evelyn89, 2 days agoBlocks more than EFF Privacy Badger witch allow some "friendly" trackers.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20084842, 2 days agoIt has been a really great adblocker for my needs.
It has protected my privacy, blocked ads and I haven't experimented problems with any web.
The only con is that sometimes you'll need to turn it off on webs with popups images that are neccesary for the web.
I reccomend it for its easy use (button or automatically) and the benefits this extension gives. Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19702701, 13 days agoIt's a good ad block. It works 100% and is a good protective level. It'll protect you from all, so, you do not need to worry.
