    It does not work at all. I keep experiencing pop up advertising, and game apps from Google Play Store every minute. Even on Netflix it is constant and extremely frustrating. I installed Firefox as well with Ghostery and it has not worked.

    Hi there, if possible please reach out to support@ghostery.com with more details. We would be happy to help fix the issue if provided with more details.

    What we know at the moment is that sometimes Youtube shows the message "You're offline. Check your connection." Simply reloading the page helps fix this based on our research.

    Not compatible with FF 122.0.1
    A 'must have' tool with an ensemble of blockers, never fails. Also, never works with the latest FireFox update. I need to enable Ghostery every page, every restart.

    Why do you need access to my data to block ads?

    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

    Everyone says it's a great addon. I wonder if they all got paid to say that. I can't even get the dern thing to install. Another chunk of garbage that makes Android continue to suck.

    It works well on chrome but terribly on Firefox. I see ads everywhere with the extension enabled.

    Hi there, if possible please reach out to support@ghostery.com with examples of sites where you see ads. Thanks!

    I gave it a try, but it takes ages to load and allows ads before it loads, which uBlock origin doesn't. Whoever tells you this is better than uBlock is lying to you ;)

    Hi there, thanks for your review! Here is a comparison between Ghostery and uBlock: https://www.ghostery.com/comparisons/ghostery-ublock-origin

    I would LOVE to enjoy this add-on, but it's not working! Today, there were 27 trackers that Ghostery recorded but there is no way for me to manually stop them. What's up with that Ghostery?

    Hi there, please reach out to support@ghostery.com. Ghostery blocks trackers by default, there should be no need for manual interaction to stop them.
