- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13667143, 4 years agoWorks, but lately it feeds you a bunch of ads. Very disappointing, but I'll be moving on to some other solution because of it.

Whoever is managing Ghostery needs to go. Uninstalling.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16478687, 4 years agoWas great at first. In the past few months, every time I open my Firefox it pops up an ad for something or other.

Keeps spamming it's own adverts in the form of popups. once good now useless bloatware trash. To Dev response: I did all that before making my review and it still popped up the special ghostery offer every single time I opened browser. The issue is now resolved by removing ghostery from my browser. Ghostery was redundant anyway since I run abp and don't have to deal with pop-up from them. I am also going to say that I highly doubt this has a legit 4.4 star rating and going to suggest that it only does due to click bots.

Worked ok for a while, and was non-intrusive until recently, when it started to prompt me EVERY time I open my browser, to redeem a "coupon code" for some payed service I'm never going to use. I clicked "x" on 3 seperate occasions, it asked me today, and it got removed. ^_^ 3 strikes etc. Disabled "unlock rewards" in settings, and no other setting to disable spam/ads.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15670022, 4 years agoPerfeito! Eu estava com dificuldades para ver um vídeo desses grátis e que colocam mt anúncio na frente dos vídeos e ao ativar a extensão eu tive paz finalmente! Pra quem não tem grana, o jeito é usar bloqueador pra conseguir ter paz!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bobbychen, 4 years agoAn ad blocker that spams you with ads... NEXT!
------------------EDIT------------------------
OK, so you block ads, but spam us UNLESS we jump through your settings hoops to turn off your spam.
What ever.... STILL NEXT!
PS uBlock Origin is a much better app.Developer response
