Ghostery AdBlocker for Privacy

I've used this app for ever and now uninstalled it after this horrific update. It no longer quietly works in the background but has a continual PURPLE list along the right hand side of the screen, listing all the trackers that are blocked, and which continually fills in and shifts and piles up with every page you load or as you sit and browse. This not only blocks the entire side of each page but also PRINTS if you print anything. There's no way to take this off the page unless you manually move your hand/cursor/mouse and "X" it down after which it pops right back up and is now part of your page/screen/Life. Since Google analytics is on every page, let alone 20-50 blocked trackers you will have this giant purple list on every page, always (I had over 100 on one site and have at times 8 tabs open if not 3 browsers) Ghostery is an intrusive mess of epic proportions now. There's no fast, temporary way to suspend the app like there used to be if you're on your banking site or somewhere they need to give you a Cookie, or you find you have to let them see who you are for that moment or are having a problem signing in on some shopping site and figure you'll just turn off your adblocker and Ghostery for a second and see if that's the issue (and it usually is). This whole app has changed and is no longer usable, user friendly or QUIET. It makes the whole comp jerky, makes websites lag and Chrome is running with so much RAM being used (yes, I tested it with and without..it IS Ghostery causing it) that it was just simpler (and sad) to get rid of it. We also had to uninstall it at my office because we're trying to conference call and Skype and we have this GIANT PURPLE LIST popping up while we're showing each other stuff on the web we're researching. It's now impossible to take screen shot because Ghostery is in the way of trying to browse and use your computer. But hey! Why shouldn't they own you like every other app thinks they do out there? Wrong. Ghostery -- Get it together and put the old version up again until you put out a better update.

I used this extensions for years and it always delivered, what it promised, like noticeable faster loading webpages, blocked trackers and much more, though it broke some webpages. But version 7 ruined it, it actually slows down browsing now and heavily scripted GUI with huge font makes it totally unpractical. Basically, it has been discontinued, RIP Ghostery.

Hate the new update. I printed few things and every page has ghostery's circle of number of trackers blocked. I really wished ghostery remained the same and not get any NEW update. Alas it did. Good bye ghostery you were amazing...

Love the recent update-categorizing trackers by classification--makes it easier for me to know which tracker should I block or not.

Not a fan of the recent update. While it works for me (unlike for some people, it seems), they've removed options that previously existed, including the ability to hide an annoying badge count that shows how many trackers have been blocked on a website. Badge counts are one of the first features I turn OFF on any extension that has them. They are distracting to the eye and pointless. I emailed Ghostery about this, asking if I was just missing where to turn this off now, and received this reply: "The badger [sic] counter is a non removable feature in Ghostery 7." No apologies, no promises for change, just a middle finger. You know what isn't "non-removable"? Ghostery.

It's a great extension, but... I was hoping that with the addition to the login option that my blocking settings would be saved. I use local computers often and it's a pain to have to whitelist sites I trust and unblock widgets and what not. It wastes time and time is money.

ужасно.... раньше работало, теперь это просто кнопка без интерфейса. Переустановки не помогают,странно... Вместо настроек - бесконечное предложение установки 7.0 ( все уже стоит)

I've been using Ghostery for a long time and IMHO, this is the best version of the extension yet. The new bigger panel makes it easier to see at a glance what trackers are present on the current website and it's also easier to check/uncheck blocking options. The developers have also added the ability to see which blocked tracker is causing a web page not to function correctly. That is a huge improvement over previous versions because it could take quite a long time to check/uncheck/reload the page to see which trackers, of which there are many on some websites, need to be unblocked for the web page to display correctly. I wouldn't go anywhere on the web without this extension being loaded and active in my brower.

Funktioniert Super und der Browser wird nicht langsamer wie bei anderen Blockern, erst einmal alles blockieren und dann nach und nach entscheiden wo man zulässt....
