I loved this extension but recently I notice the youtube videos are affecting its loading it causing slow loading, videos are playing abut the background isnt fully loaded yet and causing the video to buffer and more stuff its causing. I found out its this extension when I turn off one by one and it was this one. So I have to turn it off.

très bonne application

Helps block redirects, ads, trackers, and so much more. I use it everyday for my work and research. Would definitely recommend.

exelente

Bon bloqueur de publicité, fonctionne sur la plupart des sites

As of this writing Ghostery is fully incompatible with YouTube. You must disable it or the site will barely function. (YouTube becomes incredibly laggy and videos will take forever to load). I submitted a ticket to the Ghostery support team and they said they fixed the issue, but the problem is not fixed even a little bit.

Edit: I see the response from the developer below, and it's true it is now compatible with YouTube, but YouTube is very laggy with the extension. It will eventually load a video and play it, but it's still a real hassle. Not worth using for YouTube until this is fixed.

Been having issues with Youtube being seriously slow over the past week, been examining my PiHole for any issues, but then went through my browser extensions one by one and found that Ghostery was slowing it down to the point where videos wasn't loading thumbnails. Once I'd removed the Ghostery extension, Youtube worked properly again.

Probably triggers youtube's adblock protection. Makes youtube completely unusable while that on. Maybe other web-sites works worse performance wise (its funny to see when website assemble itself visibly like i'm using my old Pentium 4 PC from that era). But you gotta choose privacy or performance in today's reality :/

It works, but also drastically worsens performance while under load.

I'm sure it is usually good, but currently it completely slows down youtube for me, might be due to conflicting add-ons or some new stuff youtube added, but in this state it is, for me, unusable.
