Thank you ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Doug Depue, 8 years agoBlocks trackers effectively but allows for unblocking, if needed.
- Rated 5 out of 5by LeeWilkerson777, 8 years agoGhostery installs in mere moments and it just does its business behind the scenes with no muss nor fuss.
Set it to block everything and unblock items one at a time as necessary. - Rated 5 out of 5by Steen, 8 years agoHighly recomment this add-on.Very simpel to use yet very effecient
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jed Harris, 8 years agoAfter recent improvements I almost never have to intervene with Ghostery, it just works. Pages load faster and I occasionally notice absurd numbers of blocked trackers. Makes the web better for everyone.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12651751, 8 years agoGhostery is to trackers what ad-blocking programs are to annoying ads. They smite them. Actually, Ghostery is programmable, so you can set your preferences. Certain trackers are required for the site to function properly. You can green light those, but have it block all the rest.
The program runs quietly in the background. The only things I ever hear from it (meaning a pop-up message) is when it discovers new trackers and offers me the chance to review them, if I'd like to. There's a tiny blue ghost icon on my tool bar, and a little purple circle that pops up as a site loads. It's almost fun to see just how many trackers some sites are running on their users. Six to ten isn't horrible, but my cell phone company had 24, and a news/commentary site had 47. Forty-seven different trackers. And they were blocked. I recommend this program to anyone who spends any real time online. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13300644, 8 years agoI switched from Chrome to Firefox to take control of who gets my browsing data, and Ghostery makes that possible. You can choose how much to share and with what websites.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ChrisInLA, 8 years agoDoes the job without impairing browser speed or function. Works well with uBlock Origin. Just the right amount of options.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Stephen Frick, 8 years agoOur daily activities are being captured and used against us daily, and this tool lets me know who is using those tools to collect my habits and uses of the internet. Fantastic tool alerts me to cookies I feel are a threat to my privacy.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13300438, 8 years agoI have seen some trackers listed as Essential, but the page functions fine (for my purposes, at least) Still, a fantastic tool!

- Rated 5 out of 5by swanstarr, 8 years agoIVE USED THIS PROGRAM SINCE ITS BIRTH, AND ITS STILL THE ONE THAT OWNS MY HEART. I KNOW USING IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADVERT BLOCKERS AND ALSO S STRONG POP UP BLOCKER IS THE ONLY WAY TO MANAGE SUCCESSFULLY, BUT THIS ONE APP NEVER SEEMS TO LET ME DOWN ON THE TRACKER BLOCKING! THOUGH THEY'VE CHANGED HOW IT APPEARS/WORKS A LITTLE, ITS STILL DOING ITS JOB...JUST HAVE TO TWEAK A LITTLE DIFFERENT? ANYWAY...THANKS TO GHOSTERLY TEAM I'M ALWAYS COVERED! I PRAY YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK? DON'T BE "SELL OUTS", LIKE SO MANY OF THESE TECH CORPS, WHO'VE ALLOWED THAT EVIL MONEY FROM THE RUSSIAN MAFIA, TO CHANGE THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT IT IS YOU DO? I AM HOPING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED WITH YOUR APP OR THE FULL PROFESSIONAL VERSION OFFERED TO LARGE BUSINESSES? IF I HAD A LARGE BUSINESS, ID BE AN INVESTOR! THAT'S WHAT KIND OF LOYAL AMERICAN I AM! I HOPE YOU'RE AN AMERICAN MADE SERVICE PRODUCT? PLEASE? NEVER SELL OUT? FACEBOOK IS A SELL OUT, SINCE APPARENTLY THE MONEY WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM, THEN DOING THE RIGHT THING WAS? AS WAS KAPERSKY? THEY WERE OWNED BY A RUSSIAN TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE AN AMERICAN CORP, BUT WE NOW KNOW DIFFERENTLY...BUT IM PRAYING YOU WILL TELL US YOU'RE ORIGIN STORY? AS AN AMERICAN PATRIOT, THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW,,,AS IT SHOULD BE TO ALL AMERICANS?...DON'T BE LIKE THEM, EVER?
