- Rated 2 out of 5by NoSpeak, 7 years agoThe latest interface took away a lot of easy functionality and quick access. It looks prettier but less useful. It also causes a lot of problems on a number of sites that the older versions of Ghostery had no issue with. Like blocking audio, comments etc. No matter if I uncheck everything, the only way they work is to disable Ghostery or set the site as trusted.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13038173, 7 years agoVery good Add on. Blocks ads and it's "pause" function works really well for sites that sometimes can't work when the addon is enabled (like Yahoo! mail's search function i.e).
I used to have an adblocker, cookie deleter and a scriptblocker and both have been replaced by Ghostery. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rob Gould, 7 years agoVery useful getting all the trackers, especially Facebook off your back.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13680688, 7 years agoLightweight and basically invisible, when left to its own devices Ghostery will pop up and inform you of just how many trackers/ads/scripts it is blocking, and then retreat quietly back to your toolbar. Customizing your settings is a breeze, and for the occasional time when you want to suspend it, whitelist a site, or whitelist just a particular web plug (on its most severe settings, which I use, it will block Soundcloud embeds, which I wanted to whitelist, for example), a few clicks around in the toolbar menu will have you back whatever you were doing on the internet.
For me it has been a fire-and-forget operation; between Firefox's generally impressive prioritization of security and Ghostery, I have mostly wiped out the internet security concerns that were bothering me. Good stuff. - Rated 5 out of 5by TrickyPR, 7 years agoGhostery is very user friendly and blocks all of the adds and trackers that i have come across. If is is blocking something that is braking the page then can stop it.
