by Firefox user 14459346, 8 years agoWith the new update ghostery, now need "access to your data for all websites." It was one of the best applications for protecting personal data. Very sad, I dont want to look for other addon, it’s good that there is an possibility not to update

posted 8 years agoHi, there, in order for Ghostery to block trackers and ads, it needs to be able to detect and take action on elements of a web page as you browse. We do not record sensitive information, record browsing history, or disclose user data. Note that despite the prompt being new, Ghostery is not introducing any new permissions with the update. You can read about this in greater detail on our FAQ page, here: https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/why-am-i-being-prompted-to-approve-an-update-from-ghostery/

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lunule, 6 days agoDoesn't block ChatGPT ads. This was my only reason to install it, but it seems, as of September 2026, there's no Firefox add-on able to block ChatGPT ads.
