Works but kills loading speed

Took me a while to realize it was Ghostery making safari so painfully slow. 10 to 20 seconds to load each page. It got so bad on that nothing would load at all and i had to create a new safari profile (i named it “please be quicker”). Eventually figured out when i had ghostery enabled is when i would run into issues with loading pages.

While it does help decrease the amount of ads and pop ups pretty significantly, there are still some ads that get through the block. I’d give it a 4/5 stars if it weren’t for the loading speed issue.

Not blocking ads

I opened a website I know is commonly infested with ads (a Fandom wiki) and every single ad was displayed. Ghostery did nothing.
