User reviews

The best ad stopper, tracker controller available..,

And it’s free, a labor of love paid for ny 100% voluntary contributions. You won’t notice it running / until a warning pops ups.

PROBLEM - It doesn’t work with iOS versions of Firefox and other non-Apple browsers and Safari is a mess that should have been covered by the Microsoft Windows integrated browser decision more than 30 years ago.
Maybe if the US keeps its honesty president rather than 45 with his (so-far) 34 felony convictions, it will be.

Works Great For Me (TMobile, iPhone, Safari)

I read the articles they send and do all the suggestions. Been using Ghostery on various platforms for years. Suggest turning OFF your location services and use only when necessary then turn off and clear cache/memory.

Great and Lightwieght

Available with a click if needed to be disabled, very effective running in the background.

will not stop annoying me

I continue to get a pop up that stops what I'm doing over and over and over again, even though I made my choice to allow for one day on a site. SO ANNOYING!

Slows down Safari quite a bit

Just check on Browser benchmark Speedometer and see for yourself. On my machine, it goes from a 400 mark without Ghostery down to 175 with the extension enabled.
