"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.
"ad blocking software"
Overall: overall excellent software, effectively blocks all annoying and intrusive advertisements, letting you browse the internet with peace of mind.
Pros: Excellent software for blocking advertising and annoying sites that redirect you to other pages, intuitive and easy to use every day
Cons: software that needs a detailed guide to know all its features and potential
"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.
"Block trackers online!"
Pros: What I like about Ghostery is how they explained how it works. I think it's easy to use and you can find it on any browser as an add-on. It's always recommended!
Cons: It takes time to get the full benefits, which is not their fault. and it doesn't replace the ad blocking app. So, you'll have to use another app to block ads.
