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.

Awesome Adblocker

This is an awesome adblocker and tracker!!!! So glad the AppStore still has quality apps.

New Blue Ghostery is the Best Consumer AdBlocker

I used to have the Old Ghostery, and AdBlock. I dropped AdBlock, and upgraded to the new, blue, free Ghostery, and made them a small donation. Running two ad blockers exponentially gums up your computer as they tangle code. Especially if you have a Mac, Ghostery keeps everything extremely streamlined. They have privacy in mind. It works seamlessly with glitchy ad filled sites like TSN and ESPN. Love it, especially the upgrade!

Simply does not work

I installed this and cannot turn even it on. I worked with AI to try multiple fixes and eventually just gave up and installed something else that works fine.

Doesn’t really seem to work

It’s breaking pages, but not blocking pop ups, banners, or requests for permission to use cookies. Oh well back to AdGuard I suppose.
