- Rated 1 out of 5by CauseOfBSOD, 4 years agoA "privacy ad blocker" that invades your privacy. Bruh. Using uBlock Origin from now on.

It can't even display the overloaded settings menu on older CPUs.

- Rated 1 out of 5by KitB, 4 years agoAs others have said: was fine until recently when it started adding pop-ups of its own. Absurdly bad ad-blocker now.
It absolutely doesn't matter that this feature can be opted out of. I already tried to opt out of ads by installing the add-on in the first place. I'm now opting out of ghostery's ads by just uninstalling it. ublock origin does the job just fine as, I'm sure, do many other ad-blockers that don't stuff their own ads down your throat.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Remmer, 4 years agoThe popup panel did not show up normally. Could you please improve it's compatibility with latest Firefox?

The Rudy Giuliani of Firefox extensions..

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16480117, 4 years agoSuddenly began to show Black Friday ads some days ago. Do not trust this extension any more. Questionable business ethics. Uninstalling.

Stick with uBlock Origin!

Now every time I launch Firefox I get a pop up ad from the add-on for black Friday or something else I don't care about or want to see.
Cannot recommend installing in it's current state.
You were the chosen one! you were to destroy the ads not join them.Developer response
