Ghostery is a powerful privacy extension. Block ads, stop trackers and speed up websites.

Ghostery counts more than 100+ million downloads worldwide.

Ghostery for Chrome provides safe, fast, and clutter-free browsing for free. The browser extension upgrades your Chrome browser and supplies full adblock functionality, stops trackers from accessing your personal data, and annoying cookie consent pop-ups.

Ghostery has three main components:
* Ad-Blocking - blocks all ads on websites you visit with your Chrome browser, including Youtube and Facebook, helping you to focus only on the information important to you.
* Anti-Tracking - stops trackers’ ability to collect your personal data, replacing it with random values and anonymizing your identity for data brokers. If you see a need to unblock individual trackers, we developed this option. The reasons are up to you!
* Never-Consent - automatically removes intrusive cookie popups and expresses dissent to online tracking. This unequaled feature adds convenience to each website visit and acts like your privacy advocate towards content providers while using Chrome.

Ghostery delivers the online privacy protection our users have come to know and love while minimising the need for customisation and maintenance.

As Ghostery is more than an ad-blocker, it comes with exceptional additional features, not found in any other ad-blocking extension:
* Trackers information on any website your visit, informing you about the number of trackers, their type, and the company operating them.
* Trackers Preview on search engine result pages - displaying tracker information even before you visit a page. You can safely make the choice to visit it, as Ghostery will stop trackers expecting you on the landing page.
* WhoTracks.Me - Owning and operating the largest database of trackers allows Ghostery to update tracker information fast and reliably for all users.
* Managing your adblock, antitracking, and cookie popup removal function in one click.

Moreover, Ghostery is:
* Open source
* Supported by thousands of contributors worldwide
* Free to use forever

Ghostery’s core features are free for everyone. Take your experience to the next level and become a contributor to access extension themes, priority support, and historical statistics. Contributors also help Ghostery fund the development of the Privacy Suite and WhoTracks.Me, the largest database of trackers in the world. Become a contributor and help Ghostery fight for privacy as a human right!

Does what it says on the tin and block ads.But occasionally breaks websites e.g.the Uefa ticketing site today. Takes me a few minutes sometime to realise that Ghostery is the problem and disable it.

It doesn't block any ads. Ever since I installed it chrome has been crashing with the error STATUS_ACCSESS_VIOLATION and at the same time Ghostery crashes. Removing Ghostery has fixed my problem, just get a barebones adblocker like AdBlock.

While i love this extension i noticed that serval trackers turned themselves off. this is extremely disappointing as you'd assume ghostery actually values providing the privacy they claim to for their users. If it happens again i'll be taking my needs elsewhere just out of not supporting dishonesty.

다 좋은데, 왜 나무위키 보려고 하면 다 차단해서 아무것도 못 보게 하냐...
