Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by artie
Rated 3 out of 5
by artie, 6 years agoJust a comment to the developers. For an extension that is supposed to block ads and make my browsing experience smoother and less annoying... you pulled a truly boneheaded move. The very first site I went to after installing the Ghostery extension was Quora, and before I even had a chance to login to that site, what happened?
GHOSTERY POPPED UP AN AD ASKING ME TO UPGRADE TO A PAID VERSION OF ITSELF!
Really? I mean, you couldn't at least wait a day or two for me to try it out first? My very first experience with your ad-blocking capabilities is an AD FROM YOU suggesting that I upgrade? What were you thinking?
It looks like a nice enough product if it does what it says it does, but you would think at the very least it would make a more intentional effort to follow its own guiding principles. It's somewhat hypocritical the way it happened.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19945542, a day 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

- Rated 5 out of 5by DM Trismegistus, 3 days agoI'm not sure what's NOT TO LOVE about this app. I have it on several PCs and it's awesome. I don't have any problems watching videos or any lag, nothing bad. I can now play through my WHOLE playlists W/O interruptions. THANK YOU!!
