"Awesome tool that makes the internet less intrusive"

Overall: Ghostery blocks ad-trackers and other add-ons that slow down your experience online as well as prevents targeted ads when you visit other sites(a marketing team's worst enemy). Sometimes because of the blocking I get ads on Youtube that are not in my language, but that's not a big deal.

Pros: Blocks ads online including annoying pop up ads on certain sites Prevents people being able to track you online Oh and it's free

Cons: The only one that I can think of is that sometimes I get ads in other languages. Not a big deal

"Ottimo e sempre attuale"

Overall: Ottimo, l'ho usato e continuero' ad usarlo e consigliarlo

Pros: Pienamente funzionante e operativo, per nulla invasivo nelle notifiche, fa il suo silenziosamente mentre navigate nel web.Interfaccia chiara e dettagliata su cosa sta bloccando e numerose opzioni, come la pausa o escludere / includere determinati siti. Un must per chi naviga molto in internet!

Cons: Ad oggi dopo anni di utilizzo non ho trovato nessun difetto.

"Nice to have someone covering your tracks"

Pros: Ghostery makes the internet less intrusive by preventing some of the tracking that is going on today.

Cons: Ghostery is not available for Safari on macOS yet, that is a bit sad for me, else they do nothing wrong.

"Great privacy update for virtually anyone"

Overall: A great browser upgrade for the privacy-conscious people out there.

Pros: No one like being tracked online and Ghostery is probably one of the best ways to mitigate the tracking of your online persona. The service is an extremely easy to use as a browser extensions and it helps with securing your data, especially by preventing a lot of ads-related scripts from running and gathering your data.

Cons: It's not as powerful as some other ad-blocking extensions so you will see some ads on most sites even with the service running.
