One of the best. I highly recommend it.

Do not download

Terrible app, it usually doesn’t block ads, and my webpages on safari were loading so slowly for the longest time and I couldn’t figure out why. Eventually realized that it was because of this terrible app. I genuinely don’t recommend using this if you can avoid it - there are other ways to remove ads, I promise you.

I just works!

Love this privacy blocker. It does everything I need it to do and it does it well. Very reliable. It's one of the very few extensions I trust. Thank you Ghostery!

Ghostery review

Hopefully blocks a significant amount of trackers. Took off one star for number of pages it breaks and another for bugging me to review it.
