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 Chrome Ad Blocker technology to improve your experience and protect your privacy, even on sites like YouTube.
***How do I block ads on Chrome?***

- app doesnt work for the single most advertised purpose: blocking ads on youtube. install was also really dumb, page keeps saying to pin the app no matter whether its pinned or not (which is in no way necessary for the app to function), and continually pesters me with popups to re-pin the app if i dont have it pinned. besides this, the app starts deactivated and then opens a tab telling you to hit a button to activate it, instead of just being toggled on and off via the plugins menu like every other plugin on chrome. i have never in my life seen a chrome plugin this convoluted with this high of ratings. sure, you *can* deactivate any plugin manually, but it seems pretty ridiculous to have it turned off by default and then open a popup asking me to enable it. if you require some kind of terms of use agreement (which i did not see anywhere) then it can still be part of the installation process or listed on the plugin description. maybe google has it out for this one specific developer, but i seriously doubt that these popups and activation requests are necessary in any way. the developer just wants to pester you with their logo so its burned into your mind or something, and in the process has made their app more annoying than the ads it purports to (but does not) block. even if this plugin functioned perfectly after obeying all of it's nonsense requests, i would still be rating it down for egregiously poor user experience and sending me popups on every tab when its supposed to be blocking them. to whoever "vibe coded" this: eat a fat putrid turd and quit developing software forever.

- Used to work perfectly, but it no longer works today. Have reported to the team. Hopefully they can remedy this and get it up and running again. It was great, worked in the background and was very unobtrusive and easy to use.

- Ghostery works fine on you tube & Rumble. Not good at all on Bitchute. Play button keeps disappearing and have to go into settings and disable it so I can view videos. Of course that means watching erectile dysfunction ads! Grrr....

- 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 ...
- Anonymous
- 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.
