Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker by Ghostery

Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 14189190, 8 years agoGenerally excellent but just reporting that the last update a week or so ago is breaking many web sites and hanging Firefox downloading of content. I have tried disabling add-ons one by one and Ghostery is the culprit. Parts of pages (content files for frames, CSS, JS, etc) are being stopped (leaving the page incomplete or corrupt) but, if you reload (smetimes have to do this 2 or 3 times) they then often load. Other sites, not loading any trackers being stopped (so Ghostery reports clean) error with Ghostery enabled but load OK with it disabled. There is evidently some bug in the recent update, perhaps around the API with Firefox or timing? They all worked fine two weeks ago before the update with Ghostery enabled.

posted 8 years agoHey there, Thanks for reporting this. Can you shoot us an email at [email protected] so we can be sure to get this issue addressed? Also, it sounds like you are setting your blocking settings on a page by page basis.. if you click on settings > General SEttings and select "Block All" You will be automatically blocking all trackers detected rather than how you described.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19987259, 17 days agoBeen using it on mobile and on my computers alike, works like a charm, does what it said, not in the way. If adblocker means something, Ghostery might be the closest to the definition

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20152412, 20 days agoIf your entire reason for existing is to allow people to avoid annoying pop up ads on the internet, DON'T force an annoying pop up ad on them demanding a review... And DON'T make that ad impossible to delete without exiting the browser... And DON'T then act as if you didn't do any of this when you quite rightly get roasted in the reviews.
