FAQ
*** What is an adblocker? ***
An ad blocker is a tool that prevents advertisements from appearing while you browse the internet. It works by detecting and blocking requests from known ad servers, stopping banners, pop-ups, video ads, and other types of online advertising from loading. Ad blockers can also improve page load times and enhance privacy by reducing tracking from ad networks.
*** What is a tracker blocker? ***
A tracker blocker is a tool that stops websites and third parties from collecting data about your online behavior. It blocks tracking scripts and cookies that monitor what you do across the web - like the pages you visit, what you click on, or what you buy. By blocking trackers, it helps protect your privacy and can even speed up browsing.
*** Does Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker work on Youtube? ***
Yes, Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker works on YouTube by blocking ads and trackers that load with videos. While some video ads may still slip through due to platform changes, Ghostery continuously updates its blocking technology to improve your experience and protect your privacy, even on sites like YouTube.

- (2025-07-23) LMG: I have used many ad blockers in the past. some of them have become convoluted and confusing so I tried this one, having no idea how to use it and never using it before. It was really easy to figure out and once you do, your "browsing experience" is so much better. It not only blocks stuff but it let's you see what site or whatever that was trying to get through, and even WHAT it has blocked.I wish I could show a screenshot to make more sense but basically it's like Observed activities 2 Advertising 1 Hosting 1 and then it will tell you who was doing it. like this. Advertising 1 Facebook (11) Hosting 1 Facebook CDN (17) that's literally just from going to facebook.com and trying to sign in. it's WILD. This is getting long but I always read reviews so I want to make this thorough. There is an option to "pause" it on certain pages specifically and you can choose for how long. Or you can put in a site or link etc that you want it to trust or not block ads on (for example I use chrome and I use https://tab.gladly.io/newtab/ because you can use it to donate to charities just by using it) so it has ads on it, (you can choose targeted or not aka if they track you) but the ads are the point (they aren't intrusive they are at the bottom of the page kind of thing) so I can still have ghostery on but tell it that specific page only is ALLOWED to show ads) so anyway this is long AF but I hope this helps someone. especially if you don't know what you're doing or find other ones too complicated. (This would be such a shorter explination if I could share a screenshot!!! but there you go)
- (2025-07-23) Seba Segovia: it works kind of fine, but info updates are way too aggressive, it won't let you close the popup and interrupts the entire navigation, this is a flaw on the design, if they change this, the qualification will definitely go higher, but for now, this is extremely bothering
- (2025-07-23) JezixThePro: What can I say? It works!
- (2025-07-22) conandlibrarian: Introduced a feature where ghostery will disable itself, based on user submissions.....so they created a system for entities to abuse so that they can get ghostery turned off on their websites. Why would i EVER allow a privacy/security focused tool to disable itself without my input? Ridiculous, used this for years but now its time to say goodbye forever. Mark my words this feature will lead to someone's death.
- (2025-07-22) Enzo Schumacher: If I am being honest It's actually better than UBlock Origin (in my opinion though) and It's actually quicker for me by 10x not even exaggerating, Keep it up developers! you're making millions of people lives easier! <3
- (2025-07-21) Blake haynes: Great Extension, barely had any ads and YouTube doesn't detect it, I recommend it.
- (2025-07-20) Skullblits 69: Still get You Tube adds
- (2025-07-20) John Rethorst: Well-designed and very effective utility. Thank you.
- (2025-07-20) Vraj Parekh: Really good, does its job well and prevents trackers and blocks ads.
- (2025-07-20) Tanish Chetan: really trustworthy and good you can even test it by going on ad heavy sites and it manages to filter them all out 5 stars
- (2025-07-20) Omotayo Ayodeji: very useful
- (2025-07-19) Yehuda Samuels: one word FANTASTIC. One request: give me a way to use it on Chrome android
- (2025-07-19) Karl Hanson: It never sleeps. Is polite, and gives clear choices to the operator. Helps me feel much more confident about sites.
- (2025-07-19) Neil Riley: Ghostery has now become the thing it was trying to stop. The best one is when you get the new "See what's new in ghostery" POPUP in the middle of your screen....That can't be dismissed. Ruined.
- (2025-07-19) sterling archer: Pop ups galore from ghostery themselves. What's new in ghostery! Nobody cares. Block trackers and ads, don't become their replacement annoyance.
- (2025-07-19) Hell Raizzer: Became an invasive plugin that keeps spamming popups recently.
- (2025-07-19) SANJOY SARKAR: it works somewhere good but not efficient enough. 1st i thought i would not miss ublock origin but now i think i miss it. :)
- (2025-07-19) Víctor M: Best advertising blocker ever!
- (2025-07-19) linda dintinner: very good add block
- (2025-07-18) Zane Shannon: they put ads about their "updates" on your page now. need a ghostery to block ghostery. utterly unbelievable.
- (2025-07-18) Pranjal Patra: Currently , ghostrery is not able to block youtube ads.
- (2025-07-18) Rob van Suijlekom: Very, very useful extension in order not to be overwhelmed by marketing rubbish I did not sign on to. Very nNice extension to add to my privacy!
