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 annoying ads 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 and intrusive ads, the Tracker & Ad Blocker 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 Chrome Ad Blocker technology to improve your experience and protect your privacy, even on sites like YouTube.
***How do I block ads on Chrome?***
You can block ads on Chrome by installing a browser extension like Ghostery, which is a free and easy-to-use ad blocker. Once installed from the Chrome Web Store, Ghostery automatically blocks all types of intrusive ads.
With Ghostery, you not only have a solid Chrome ad blocker but also faster browsing, reduced clutter, and improved privacy protection.
==============================
Note:
Chrome automatically generates the notice requesting permission to "read and change all your data on all websites" because Ghostery must access page contents across all tabs to remove ads and tracking. Ghostery collects no personal information, ensuring your privacy remains protected.

- Wasiu Adewale Sikiru
- Absolutely working well I will highly recommend
- Kathy Crowell
- This is the BEST ad blocker out there! I have tried many others, only to find out certain ads would show up while some wouldn't. And the other blockers wouldn't show the ads that the previous blocker wouldn't block but would show the ads that the previous blocker wouldn't show. This has blocked ALL ads that I have come across. Another little thing I like about this ad blocker is you can also pause the ads for 1 hour, 1 day or always.

- John Kies
- You do great work in making the world safer. Sounds pretentious, but it is true. There are so many people in the electronic world who think their information is secure because they use a password. My career in IT began it the mid-1970s when I built the first on-line credit card verification network. And onward and upward. But to simplify here, Ghostery does its work in the background, quietly and securely. Ghostery is like having a really big German Shepard in the front yard who just sits and watches until some nasty person tries to come into the yard. They may get away, but they will have a hole in the seat of their pants! Thank You for everything you do. --johnkies-- 404.372.1908

- Surfing really IS better with Ghostery! Of all the ant-malware, anti-spyware, anti-virus, blah, blah, blah aps/programs I've used over the past 30 years, or so, Ghostery really is the most effective at keeping crud off of my computer without slowing me (or my rig) down. Good job, guys!

- one of the must have extension
- Grant Muir
- The fact that there's so much garbage being spit in your face. With our little Ghostie friends all that gets taken away so it's far less stressful.
- Diego Velazquez
- It's pretty good for blocking any unwanted content or leading to random websites that aren't safe as it blocks it before you can enter it pretty much.

- S126 16 Aaron Chandrasekaran
- one of the best and non irritating ad blockers to use. it filters out more than 90% of ads without causing any issues in browsing experience. also does not suspiciously increase the memory usage while is on
- Hussain kothari
- Ghostery AdBlocker for Privacy extension is amzing i love this and i will use this for my entire life
- Ello Arene
- Fabulous security and privacy in an age were tech giants value neither. Plus, it mascot reminds me of the ice cream pops that we used to buy at the beach when we went to Florida as kids.
- Michael (Disciple of Jesus Christ)
- Ghostery used to be good, it no longer does a very good job of stopping trackers. It has been unable to diversify for the changes in tracking, I have been very disappointed in the last year or so. These good ratings are deceitful, they are from an earlier time when Ghostery was actually good.

- Extension works really well to speed up sites that have way too many ads; has many options, some may say too many. I intentionally configure extension to allow some sites to track me because they benefit me greatly and don't have way too many ads.
- Marko Savovic
- Incredibly useful extension, genuinely one of the greats. Blocks annoying ads & protects your browsing experience. Works on all major browsers (if you are not sure, just try adding it anyway, you may be positively surprised). Used it before it was cool. There are other options, but this one I would genuinely recommend :) Happy and safe browsing!
