- To my pleasant surprise, Ghostery Ad Blocker has provided more relief from ads and other assorted intrusions that I expected or even knew was possible. I am very happy with the service and I hope it never changes.

- I don't know how I hadn't heard about Ghostery until recently, but it has been a game changer! Was trying to catch up on the Winter Olympics via replays a few weeks ago because they were not leaving certain events up very long, but ads really stretch the run time on already lengthy events. Installed Ghostery and not an ad to be seen! Amazing!

- Leona de Bel
- Great ad-blocker; it absolutely delivers on what it promises, plus it's easy to turn on and off if I need a pop-up from a website for school to appear. The ultimate plus for me is that not only does it actually work, but the little extension icon at the top of my browser is really cute, just a tiny blue smiling ghost, which is important to me. :)

- I'm always surprised by the amount of trackers of websites you wouldn't suspect. Ghostery makes it simple to access that information and take control of my web browsing. I've had Ghostery on my Chrome browser for years. To many more!!!

- great extension. i use it in combination with a few other privacy extensions.. sometimes works too hard lol. definitely use ghostery search in combination with the extention if you are about privacy, not perfect for results but you will get results you'll never see on others and for that, im thankful. keep updating ghostery, and keep donating for free services we should alll natively have... privacy people psssst. (use something dif as your main browser. you know that tho)
