- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14189190, 6 years agoGenerally excellent but just reporting that the last update a week or so ago is breaking many web sites and hanging Firefox downloading of content. I have tried disabling add-ons one by one and Ghostery is the culprit. Parts of pages (content files for frames, CSS, JS, etc) are being stopped (leaving the page incomplete or corrupt) but, if you reload (smetimes have to do this 2 or 3 times) they then often load. Other sites, not loading any trackers being stopped (so Ghostery reports clean) error with Ghostery enabled but load OK with it disabled. There is evidently some bug in the recent update, perhaps around the API with Firefox or timing? They all worked fine two weeks ago before the update with Ghostery enabled.

posted 6 years agoHey there, Thanks for reporting this. Can you shoot us an email at support@ghostery.com so we can be sure to get this issue addressed? Also, it sounds like you are setting your blocking settings on a page by page basis.. if you click on settings > General SEttings and select "Block All" You will be automatically blocking all trackers detected rather than how you described. - Rated 5 out of 5by bigp123, 6 years ago

Unfortunately, the old user interface (version 6.x) was far more efficient und better. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14181969, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14177324, 6 years agoI used to like Ghostery, until it started using around 15% of one of my processors - I've disabled it now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14175147, 6 years agoBasically useless. It can't preemptively prevent cookies from being set. You have to go to the site which of course instantly sets a bunch of cookies, and only THEN you can block the site's trackers. Which means that for every site that's new to Ghostery, you'll have to go in and manually delete the dozens of cookies that got set. It's a whole LOT of work compared to what it would be if you could preemptively block all trackers.
Note that I do have global blocking and block all turned on, they just don't seem to work right.Developer response
