• (2024-08-02) J J: FYI: Ghostery's Privacy Practices discloses they collect your passwords, PIN, name, address, age, email, GPS. That's unacceptable and leads to fraud.
• (2024-07-07) Dawne G (aka TechQueen): UPDATE= 2024- Error = ""The extension failed to load properly. It might not be able to intercept network requests."" IT IS NOT GHOSTERY's FAULT. Blame Google and Manifest V3. See here: "Google’s Manifest V3 will impose massive limitations on all new browser extensions. When Manifest V3 is coming out in January 2023, these restrictions will be enforced on all extensions, Ghostery included." https://www.ghostery.com/blog/manifest-v3-the-ghostery-perspective 2022 =Best Best Best Extension out there for blocking ads, trackers you name it! I LOVE this little ghost! After having tons of extensions like Protect my Choices, Google Opt Out, IBA opt out and of course the AV plug ins, I still get hammered by ads and those obnoxious trackers fill up everything. Once I found this extension and tried it? Gone. Love the interface on the side where I can edit settings for certain pages etc... I am happy with this extension, that I will upgrade from the free version to the paid one....to see what more it can do. As systems Engineer I spend a lot of time online-as such I am constantly in search engines and looking up troubleshooting issues on support sites and forums---and not always able to do so on a work laptop---as such those types of sites can slam you with garbage. Using this extension makes doing that work and everything else on the web so much cleaner. I even loaded it on the other PCs in the house that the family uses- so now they can browse free of garbage too Thank you for this!
• (2024-06-23) Иван Симонов: бесполезное расширения, со своими задачами не справляется
• (2024-06-12) F B: UI改悪
• (2024-06-09) Velautham Chandrakumar: it seemed to work for a long time now it doesnt work anymore like i see ads now is there some sort of update i dont know (2024) new update makes it worse the ads still keep coming again stopped for a long time now they here
• (2024-06-07) 大畑乃之: 「強化された追跡防止」の類の機能も、サイト毎の個別設定が出来る様にして欲しい。 一斉だと困る場合有り。 後、エクスポートが特定件数を超えたら、古い奴から自動削除される機能が有ると助かる。 2024年6月6日追記: 解り難過ぎる表示に成った。と言うか、デフォルトを変えるのは新規にインストールする利用者のみにして欲しい。
• (2024-03-22) not blocking YT adds anymore, even in incognito... and some sites are still showing adds... (2024 update)
• (2024-03-07) Doesn't block everything it claims too. Try using something else Use to be a time when I decide what it blocked, now Ghostery does and it's Bad!. I think they been bought
• (2024-01-30) Bogdan Ascheulov: It's not blocking ads properly anymore.
• (2023-12-30) Len Kowalik: Excellent product. Very effective and flexible. I moved to a new Chromebook, and it took me a while to realise that I was getting annoying, mostly irrelevant ads at the top of my search results because I had not installed it. Although I have used it very rarely, whitelisting is still blocked by some sites. In that case, Ghostery can be paused. I like the informative emails.
• (2023-12-15) Xanthos .-: Very effective. Love it.
• (2023-11-21) Dave H: No longer works on Youtube as of 09/11/2020 and it messes with another ad blocker as mentioned in another review which triggers the TOS ad warning. Review amended.
• (2023-11-20) Floris Alderliefste: It creates unlockable popups on your screen for literally every page you open. lately it's become a moving pop up too. It's impossible to turn this off.
• (2023-11-18) ibrahim ahmad: رائع و لكنه يحتاج تحديث في الوقت الحالي فقد تم كشفه من قبل youtube
• (2023-11-11) Quiet Quiet: i think ghostery is triggering youtubes adblock screen. everytime i have it enabled i get youtube's new "adblocks are against TOS" message. when i disable ghostery with Ublock Origin still on I dont get the adblock wall. i also have to completely disable ghostery for youtube's adblock wall to go away.
• (2023-11-09) C Myers: Power user. Also use ublock. Redownloaded Ghostery to see what it caught. I block ads because they are typically harassing the screen. Ghostery now popping up in the corner with a different menu for a litany of reasons is exactly why I use adblock services. uninstalled
• (2023-11-07) Xiaoxiao Lei: Thank you!!!!
• (2023-11-07) Maximillian Zaccone: Currently works against Youtube's greed and continues to block ads. Well done and thank you for your service to humanity
• (2023-11-05) Google User: Independent analysis from many reputable sites said it no longer works for YouTube and there's a massive amount of uninstalls for this extension.
• (2023-10-31) Jason Burgess: highly effective
• (2023-10-27) J: Broke youtube on Chrome. Site doesn't load when the extension is enabled
• (2023-10-26) neil Taylor: currently still works and is not detected by youtube, rest does as it should do
• (2023-10-26) Dasari Saicharan: A perfect 👌 add blocker
• (2023-10-26) Александр Злоцкий: Ghostery отлично работает уже больше года, НО, ютуб определил это приложение в моём компе и угрожает не возможностью просмотров видео в Ютубе, если не отключить или не удалить это приложение. Вот гады пиндосы! Что делать? Спасибо.
• (2023-10-25) Sleepy Doge: Avoid this addon. I have no idea why it was even installed in my browser. Just look at all the information they collect. They advertise having an anti-tracker that blocks personal information from being taken yet they collect personal information as well as passwords and authentication for websites you visit? If you want privacy, install UBlock Origin and PrivacyBadger. Both of them pledge to not collect any personal information at all. How can chrome store allow what is essentially spyware, to be on their list of extensions? Dont take my word for it, go try googling the history of Ghostery.
• (2023-10-24) hide jikiru: いくつか使ってみたがこれが一番簡単で効果抜群でした。 お勧めです。
• (2023-10-24) David A.C.: Loved this extension until recently when this error started to pop up on Amazon. Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT. Once I removed Ghostery from chrome the error went away. No amount of setting changes within Ghostery resolved the issue until I removed the extension completely.
• (2023-10-14) Sorban: Libre de ses panneaux, j'en suis heureux merci !
• (2023-10-10) Freddy T: It worked great for years - then one day while debugging a website I noticed this item being removed from the head of the document after it loaded - it was easy to reproduce- refresh the page with the inspect window open and you can see the object being removed after a few seconds.
• (2023-10-08) Helenka Contreras: Funciona a la perfección, pero youtube lo tiene bloqueado y no deja que vea videos :(
• (2023-09-27) Clemens Ratte-Polle: Etwas unübersichtlicher als Adguard. Problem: Anti-Adblocker auf Seiten erkennen Ghostery und blocken es, dh die Seite funzt dann nicht mehr, Videos geblockt usw. Das kann AdGuard besser umschiffen
• (2023-09-26) Othmane EL KOHLI: The Ads which supposed to be blocked are showing and even more than before
• (2023-09-23) Oliver Schiedeck: Ich glaub ich spinne, da möchte ich mir eine Erweiterung zum Tracking- und Datenschutz installieren und der Ersteller sammelt von mir folgende Daten: Name, Adresse, E-Mail-Adresse, Alter, Ausweisnummer, Passwörter, Anmeldedaten, Sicherheitsfrage oder persönliche Identifikationsnummer (PIN), Region, IP-Adresse, GPS-Koordinaten oder Daten über Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe des Geräts des Nutzers. Da kann ich ja gleich meine Bankzugangsdaten im Internet veröffentlichen, mein Auto unverschlossen abstellen und meine Wohnungstür offen lassen wenn ich in den Urlaub fahre. Deinstalliert und weg damit. I think I'm crazy, I want to install an extension for tracking and data protection and the creator collects the following data from me: name, address, email address, age, ID number, passwords, login data, security question or personal identification number (PIN ), region, IP address, GPS coordinates or data about points of interest near the user's device. I can publish my bank access details on the internet, leave my car unlocked and leave my apartment door open when I go on holiday. Uninstalled and gone.
• (2023-09-16) Chun Fai Li: it does not work with latest Google Auth v3, login to google services will be blocked even if blocking is paused or google.com is trusted. workaround by disable the extension before login and reable afterwards.
• (2023-09-16) Manzana: So called privacy focused extension but they collect all of the data the extension removes. Just look at the privacy practices tab... Am I missing something?
• (2023-09-09) Kameron F: Do not use, Ghostery collects your data. I noticed my Pi-hole install blocking telemetry from this extension. This extension calls back to its own data collection domain "collector-hpn.ghostery.net" hundreds of times a day and multiple times per minute according to Pi-hole. Stick with uBlock. Here's proof: https://ibb.co/NTw9nGs
• (2023-09-07) Rachasan Wagner: Es blockiert Downloads die man gezielt haben möchte, Widows 7 Ultimate wäre dazu zu sagen, auf Windows 10 noch nicht ausprobiert und auch deswegen keine Motivation auf Experimente. Ich kann AdGuard empfehlen(5 Sterne von mir), keine Probleme mehr mit YT und bietet andere Überaschungen (wer sich auskennt weiß was ich meine ;-))
• (2023-09-01) Stephan Dickens: This extension collects your data which entirely defeats the point that "Ghostery is a powerful privacy extension". That's not really privacy if they collect all your *sensitive* information 🤦‍♂‍ Ghostery collects: "Personally identifiable information For example: name, address, email address, age, or identification number Authentication information For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN) Location For example: region, IP address, GPS coordinates, or information about things near the user’s device" There is absolutely NO reason any extension especially an ad blocker needs to collect any authentication information! There is no good reason why any of this information needs to be collected really. This makes me uncomfortable using this extension and I will remove it.
• (2023-08-12) Narain: Seems proper, period. Every necessary element blocked with page fully loaded. Thank You.
• (2023-07-27) Usman Butt: Hello Ghostery ! Last time , I asked you to add Pop Up Blocking Feature , and you did it. Well Done ! Now I want you to add another feature. Add ( Remove Overlay ) Feature , because Overlays are very annoying. They often suddenly appear & cover a part of your screen , not allowing you access the button or link behind the Overlay. Also try to improve the Coding of your extension if possible to make it light weight and work faster. Plus keep a Backup of your Extension before introducing New Update so that in case of any problems faced by the User , you ( The Developer ) can Roll Back your Extension. Keep Doing the Good Work ...!
• (2023-07-23) Dylan Privitelio: Super add-on que j'utilise depuis plusieurs années Petit problème, les publicités sur certains sites ont tendance à revenir depuis quelques mois
• (2023-07-16) Martin Radosevic: Best Trackerprotection there is
• (2023-07-11) Joseph Marcovecchio: It is a great ad blocker, but for some reason I can not get it to work on Hulu as advertised :(
• (2023-07-08) Sky: Blocked the ads on Peacock TV like it said it would. Thank you very much for this product 🖤
• (2023-07-06) Rıdvan Turgut: Twitch'te klip sayfasının açılmasını engelliyor. Önceden böyle bir şey yoktu. Siteye güvenilir desem de düzelmiyor, duraklat desem de. İlla kaldırmak gerekiyor kendisini.
• (2023-07-05) morris chin: 这东西会导致微博登录不上 必须加白名单

• (2023-06-23) Uzi 13y85t: il se passe quoi avec la dernière version ? lors d'une recherche sur google la page s'actualise en permanence jusqu'à ce qu'on soit bloqué par un captcha
• (2023-06-21) Ron E (Ron E): it is causing Google search to continue to refresh... You cant even click a link before it refreshes again... Please fix... Unusable until it's fixed...
