- Choosing a one star because I have to... This app does not work on my MAC at all no blocking on pop ups... Will uninstall because for me it's useless ...

- I would give this extension 0 stars, but since that is impossible, I'll give it the next best option: 1 star. DO NOT install this extension. Rather than block ads and provide users a smooth sailing experience while watching youtube videos , this extension buffers youtube videos, resulting in a rough youtube video watching experience

- This works ok I guess. I already had ABP but thought this might block youtube ads since they are getting outrageous in what they do to force you to watch, but alas, they are no better.

- I highly recommend this browser tool. I also add it to all computers that I build at my store so that my customers are also safer when surfing the web. I show them how it works, and how they can control it, and they love that it is blocking ads and tracking. Most of my clientele is over 60 and all the way up to 100. Thank you for such a wonderful product.

- Ghostery is great! I've been using it for about a year, and it helps cut down on ads and tracking, and since it recently went free, I don't even need an account. Highly recommended for all the browsers you use!

- Does its thing almost flawlessly. Ghostery is probably my all-time favorite adblocker. However, I rated it four stars because, although rare, some ads do slip in. But most of the times, it does its work beautifully. Highly recommended.

- Ghostery has always been a vital part of my browsing security, stopping companies from abusively spamming ads, and generally making it so I can actually look at web pages instead of a few sentence in-between walls of ads.

- Simply the best. Does as promises, has a great interface and nice functions such as "pause on this site 1 hour". It does what you need with the possibility to tweak and change as you need for your own needs.

- Amazing software! It's free, does multiple things at once (cookies, ads, trackers) and does it in a really good way. I hate to click those annoying accept/reject cookies popups everywhere I go and Ghostery just automatically rejects everything for me. Also one of the best ad blockers around, still works on YouTube too!

- Did not feel any negative performance impact or noticed any bugs. It cuts ads very well. Hard to tell if all trackers are actually blocked, but it seems that way. Their N1 quality however is the developer's transparency

- As an avid UBlock Origin user for years, I was a little lost when Chrome's changes disabled their foundational method for blocking. I switched to Ghostery and it's been smooth sailing & easy ever since. Thank you!

- Ghostery honestly feels like the internet with sunglasses on — calm, cool, and finally quiet. I installed it expecting a small difference, but wow… it’s like someone swept all the noise off my screen. Pages load faster, the clutter disappears, and you can actually focus again. The biggest win for me? Transparency. Ghostery doesn’t just block ads — it shows you exactly who’s trying to track you. It’s like having a tiny digital bodyguard that points out every creepy little data-goblin lurking in the shadows. After using it for a while, going online without Ghostery feels like stepping outside without shoes. It’s that essential. If you want a cleaner, faster, less invasive internet experience… legit, just get Ghostery.
