Reviews for Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker
Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery
Review by Dark_Ronius
Rated 1 out of 5
by Dark_Ronius, 7 years agoThis is either the 3rd or 4th review, I can't remember now, of VALID reasons why I no longer use Ghostery. You can also add to those reasons that you are trusting your privacy and security with a company that seems content to silence critical reviews in order to keep its high rating on AMO. I believe this is incredibly relevant for an add-on that claims to make the internet more transparent... If they cannot even be transparent themselves!
It was after my first or second review was posted that I refused to use Ghostery anymore. I was hoping they would reimplement the features of the old version (advanced cookie blocking, tracker blocking) but this is clearly a route they do not wish to go down anymore. How about, rather than deleting this review, you take the time to respond to my criticisms? (I have re-posted this review to my personal GitHub and Pastebin, just in case it gets taken down AGAIN).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jhermie Cruz, 2 days agoI am afraid to use it because of opinion of most "advance users" or ublock itself that using different blocker does not compliment with other blocker extensions, but ghostery with ublock makes my preloading faster and better. So ghostery is a big help.
- Rated 5 out of 5by babcha, 3 days agoIn addition to anti-tracking, I love the Never Consent toggle so I don't have to wade through those cookie consent banners.
- Rated 5 out of 5by GalaxyGlimmer, 8 days agoA top tier extension to add to your browser, pretty much plug & play situation. I do link my account to sync across my devices I use this extension.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yay, 17 days agoMakes a lot of websites actually usable since it blocks all ads. I also like the menu where you can see what kind of content it blocks. Recommend
