- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13074631, 7 years agoYou should definitely use uBlock Origin.
It's open-source, doesn't sell your data and not part of Cliqz.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHey there. Ghostery is open-source (https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/) and does not sell data. But yes.. We are owned by Cliqz. Feel free to send us an email to discuss further. support@ghostery.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Jarco, 7 years agoWas a must-have add-on for me, but now after you guys managed to celebrate GDPR by sending out hundreds of e-mails that exposed your users email addresses.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13200774, 7 years agoWenn ich das Add-on in der portablen Version von Firefox installieren möchte wird es als nicht kompatibel registriert. Ich brauche aber die portable Version, da ich bei meinem vom Arbeitgeber gestellten Computer keine administrativen Rechte habe.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14073008, 7 years agoUne extension faite par des branques, c.f. l'échec monstrueux d'envoi de mails en copie visible à tous les utilisateurs.
En plus de ça, l'extension envoie des informations à chaque ouverture du navigateur :
https://www.dsfc.net/internet/tracking/un-tracker-cache-dans-ghostery/
Il n'y a strictement aucune raison de ne pas utiliser uBlock à la place, qui en plus fait bloqueur de publicités.
C'est étonnant que Mozilla mette une telle extension en avant.Developer response

Ghostrank ne fait plus parti de nos option depuis un moment.
Quant a la requette http://cmp-cdn.ghostery.com ce n'est que les notifications de mise a jours et les A/B tests qui sont en cours. Les notifications peuvent etre disactiver dans les options de notifications.

support@ghostery.com. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13241665, 7 years agoCan't download it because it says because of a connection failure. Seems to be a common problem with firefox. Seems like they would have fixed it by now since alot of people can't download any add ons because of it.

posted 7 years agoHey there.. can you send us an email to support@ghostery.com so we can help out? let us know which version of Firefox you are running. Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by hoggys2much, 7 years agoTerrible rubbish extension. I found it to be SLOWING firefox down instead of speeding it up and it blocked me out of some of my most used sites. On one site despite disabling the tracking it still wouldn't let me in. Now that I have disabled it on Firefox everything is working fine.
DO NOT USE THIS RUBBISH ADD-ON!Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for giving us a shot.. would love to have more info to see if we can't solve those issues moving forward. support@ghostery.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14060281, 7 years agoGhostery is breaking our application (by replacing IDs in legitimate requests sent to our backend), causing Denial of Service for our users who have Ghostery installed. Their support has been unresponsive for more than 2 weeks. This is simply not OK.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14058147, 7 years agoExtension qui ralentit la navigation internet dans le navigateur.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14055967, 7 years agoNot suitable for Firefox 60.0.1. Ghostery gets dismissed and is flagged "obsolete" by Firefox.
Even tried the Github pull, although it it not signed code, but that also got flagged "obsolete". So, i gave up and installed another plugin that actually does work. Apparently, ghostery is history.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi there, Ghostery works perfectly well on Firefox 60. Please email support@ghostery.com for help diagnosing the issue. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14054861, 7 years agoProtects your privacy by sending an email to everyone in the To list and not in the BCC

http://mygho.st/M6 - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14054573, 7 years agoI can not get it to work. I have added it 20+ times and am logged in. It does not seem to get added to my browser. Yet in my browser setting it says it is turned on?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14038268, 7 years agoYeah, people really should know this company is not to be trusted according to this:
https://lifehacker.com/ad-blocking-extension-ghostery-actually-sells-data-to-a-514417864
I used to use it, long ago, until I learned of this information. And once I realized I had been duped, uninstalled it. Never looked back since then and used better addons that ACTUALLY did the job.Developer response
posted 7 years agoTo be fair, that article never had the facts correct. Plus it is 5 years old. Ghostery is now open source so you can see for yourself what's going on behind the scenes. https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14028734, 7 years agoGhostery has been an annoyance. I could control AdBlocker but not Ghostery. I want to remove it but have not yet found the way to do so.

posted 7 years agoSorry to hear about your issues. You can always email us at support@ghostery.com so we can try and get it worked out. Otherwise.. Just go to Firefox Addons manager and click remove. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14014158, 7 years ago
