5 stars

By far the best Ad blocker out there. An easy 5 stars.

Absolutely the best

I use this on Safari on all my Apple devices. I found it absolutely brilliant. If a website (and I’m thinking of YouTube here) won’t load properly, I can temporarily disable Ghostery.
It is very configurable, and shows you the kind of invasive behaviour that would've happened before using it.
I make an annual donation to Support Ghostery, even though it’s free, and I urge everyone else to do the same.
I wouldn't be without it!

Was Great…

This was a great app, but now it increasingly fails to block ads.

The best

Was having big issues with pop up ads on my favorite site. Quick install and no more pop ups. Great!
DIDon’t let the old man in!

Ghostery is easy

Ublock Origin is not the same anymore. After searching, I found Ghostery and it doesn’t take many resources. Block ads and tracking really well. I recommend it and privacy is really good too.
