    Ghostery used to work fine, but something in Youtube's code changed in the last few hours (10.26.23) which makes the page not display at all (just a blown-up video vignette + a broken user menu) unless you disable Ghostery...

    Fixed needed quickly please!

    the cookie part of this extension almost never works when ad blocking is disabled, and often doesn't work even in extremely popular sites, and i already have an adblock, i just want a cookie extension that fucking works

    I'm sure it blocks some things, but I got it specifically for the cookies popups, and it only gets a few of those. Not very thorough.

    Youtube now detects it as adblocking extension, and blocks video playback with it enabled.

    I used Ghostery for many years now and was very happy with it (= 5 stars). However, a couple weeks ago ads started to appear on websites again (and if you're not used to it, this is very annoying). I tried to get it to work again but no luck. Had to switch to another blocker and now I'm hassle free again. Thanks for the good time!
