Joni Vartiainen (ID: 000000675ceceb55) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/13/2024 Erinomainen! Toimii! Suosittelen!

J J (ID: 000000dde7a51409) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/02/2024 FYI: Ghostery's Privacy Practices discloses they collect your passwords, PIN, name, address, age, email, GPS. That's unacceptable and leads to fraud.

Dawne G (aka TechQueen) (ID: 000000c1a30b0c5b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/07/2024 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!
