Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 12845766, 2 years agoFor about two weeks embedded 'Youtube' videos will not play on any websites. Filed a detailed report on Ghostery Support Page and have not had any response (That was a huge waste of time!). Worked great for years. Give it another day or two before I completely remove it. UPDATE: Support couldn't replicate. Asked for screenshot and other routine nonsense (I thought they were going to ask me to unplug Youtube and plug it back in! ) Never asked if I was signed into Youtube. That was the problem. CAN'T BE SIGNED INTO YOUTUBE. The only way around it is to turn-off AD TRACKING "globally" (every website) The specific Youtube site "exceptions" don't work as they should. I wonder how many people have this problem and just simply give up without contacting support and remove GHOSTERY. Might be many. One percent would be 10,000. Nah..I'm sure it's just me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bumerangpapst, a day agoDieses Addon ist alternativlos. Das, was früher uBO auf youtube schaffte, schaft heute nur noch Ghostery. Nachdem Youtube seine Alghorythmen änderte, war uBO praktisch wirkungslos. Unter uBO waren die Filme auf Youtube etwa nach der Hälfte nur noch extrem gezoomt dargestellt. Mit Ghostery war der Youtube-Terror vorbei. Bin sehr zufrieden mit Ghostery. Nur eine kleine Einschränkung ist mir bis heute aufgefallen: Unter T-Online News&E-Mail bei t-online sah man unter Ghostery eine Werbung in Header. Für diese Seite habe ich dann zusätzlich wieder uBO aktiviert und alles war paletti.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13281061, 3 days agoé muito prático, tem várias funções e o principal pra mim é que foi o único Adblock que funcionou no YT depois da atualização, o Adguard e o Ublock pararam de funcionar do dia pra noite.
