Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Dark_Ronius
Rated 5 out of 5
by Dark_Ronius, 9 years agoGhostery seems to have stopped going down the for-profit route, stopped slurping data, and after 8 years I can say they are trustworthy again and my daily driver. The main advantage is combining many features in one extension; optmeowt, adblockplus, privacy badger plus great visualisations of the trackers following you. Part of minimising your digital fingerprint is reducing the number of extensions you use: by combining features into one app, you're more likely to blend into the crowd. The same can be said for not having any list customisation; sometimes I wish it had more list options, but again this would be at the cost of making you more identifiable and standing out from the crowd. I think the only option I'd like to see is something like "Enable acceptable ads"
I'd really like to see them focus on speed, as comparing benchmark scores with ublockorigin shows the browser runs slightly slower than that extension.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ever Renee, 3 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Olive, 10 days agoI've been using this extension in tandem with a couple of others for about four or five years. Works great and it is one of the first I install when configuring Firefox on a new machine.
