- Robert Davidson
- It worked for a while, when I first installed it, not that long ago, and then YouTube started going dark, at the beginning of videos, and it said that it was being interrupted. I had to reload the page, just so the videos would start. I contacted Ghostery, and they asked if I updated Chrome, I said, I didn't know that I had to. They said, yes, you do. So I did. It worked for a day or two, then it started lagging again. I uninstalled it, then re installed it, and it's still lagging. This is the only extension that I have.

- Ghostery makes browsing online easy by blocking unnecessary ads and pop-ups. I’d definitely recommend it if you enjoy watching shows online and hate dealing with a new browser window opening every episode.
- Linogiven
- Used it a lot. It is undetectable by other browsers and it not only block ads but also makes browsing faster.
- JA Betzler
- Ghostery - Wow this is such a great program ... I almost forgot I have been using it for years now. I remember that I once turned it off - after a day I had to turn it was back on. I never realized how much junk I was getting. My suggestion - Get it and don't worry about all the junk you were blasted with.
- Steve Feiles
- I am really surprised that after many attempts to find a working Pop up blocker, this is a mind blower. I'm going to make a donation because the work these people put into this usually would cost people. NO, they don't know me or I don't have stock in this company. I'm just SUPER happy right now

- Google User (M. B.)
- Improved but still no option to "zap" ads or annoyances NOT detected — there are tonnes. If you want an adblocker that does this you need Adguard or uBlock Origin.
