had to deactivate the extension because of the above problem. after deactivating there is no problem with the process anymore. please contact me, so i could provide further details.

for what purpose do you need to collect authentication data such as passwords, security questions, and pins? if it is for creating a ghostery account, then that should be specified. the way it is currently written seems to indicate this is for all web traffic.

ghostry blocks so many ads, pop-ups and unwanted scripts that load in background that now it saves huge amount of bandwidth. mostly when am on youtube, the autoplay of ads before you can skip it to actual video is saving almost 8-10gb of bandwidth every month! kudos to ghostery team

1 - 'continue with google' does not work (tried only patreon) 2 - works on guest mode > suspect extention 3 - try disable extentions and 'continue with google' works after disabling ghostery

love it! have been using it for years.
| 1 |
the reason why i wanna give it 5 stars is because it blocks youtube ads as-well, while most of the youtube ad blockers don't actually work. this app still doesn't really block all the website ads and would love to see that in the next update but honestly overall good work team. kudos. :)
| 1 |
it is good for blocking scripts but it creates problem with google dev tool. i can not inspect element using google dev tools when this is active. all tags are collapsed in the dev tool. i can not expand body tag. all tags are collapsed inside the body tag. so, i can not debug html and css in my local development environment. if i pause this extension or disable it, then everything works fine, i mean google dev tool works fine and i can inspect any html tags in the dev tool.
please fix this.
ps. i will give you 5 stars once this issue is fixed.

i am so tired of everything i order suddenly popping up with special offers. that is why i got this!

awesome. use it whenever i need it i hate add pop ups and this is a great app for it. just like a auto cleaner but for the web lets u see all those trackers and u'll be surprised at how many it can block the biggest amount i have had is 16 anyone can beat the

this has been a staple in my arsenal against malware. but the recent version is preventing files from being uploaded and videos from working full screen. i have had to disable for now. it's a shame as it really has been working great until recently.

excellent plugin. good to block unwanted ads. i loved it.

i just started having the same problem, mine would shutdown after 5seconds sometimes. did you found any solution to this issue ?

very helpful...!
congrats to all the ghostery team..big up!

fantastic tracking blocker. i keep trying the foss alternatives -- privacy badger and disconnect -- but ghostery is just so much smoother and doesn't block nice things that i actually want. thanks!

new update has made a huge difference! it's working now, thank you! :-) happy customer now, lol.

my ghostery icon in chrome is grey instead of blue and does not seem to be working. does this signal a configuration issue?

when "enhanced anti-tracking" option is enabled, youtube doesn't save settings like theme or localization and drops it to default state each time you leave the site and then return back, even when 'trust site' option is checked. when "enhanced anti-tracking" option is turned off everything works fine and every setting is saved as expected.

would like to report an issue with the current version of ghostery for chrome where ghostery causes chrome's pop-up blocker to block all links opened in a new tab using middle click. disabling ghostery resolves the issue. this only started with a recent update to ghostery. using: ghostery v8.2.6 and chrome 71.0.3578.98 (official build) (64-bit) on windows 7. there are multiple reports of this issue. please see posts made on 2019-01-09 at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=305351 - where users have commented that removing ghostery resolves the issue.

great extension, simply and easily blocks trackers. like the pop-up that tells me what sites are tracking on a given page and lets me easily find out more information about those trackers! bonus for being multi-platform and multi-browser. if you value your privacy this really is a must-have extension.
| 1 |
thanks for the kind words! happy browsing!

i have tried and tested the vast majority of ad blockers, redirect removers and pop-up/pop under blockers available here in the chrome web store.
this one of very few competent extensions which can reliably block redirects and pop-ups/popunders on adult content sites.
you occasionaly need to trust a website because ghostery can be overly aggresive with its blocking, for this reason i can not give gjostery a full 5 star rating.

hi, this was a bug that is now fixed that was not at the fault of ghostery. for our full response please reach out to us at support@ghostery.com with any questions, concerns, or feedback. happy browsing!

i have ghostery running and have for a long time. recently, just about everything that opens in a new tab gets blocked by chrome as a pop up. even things that normally wouldn't trigger the pop up blocker. since it worked in incognito, i knew it was an extension. disabling ghostery fixes it. info: linux, version 67.0.3396.62 (official build) beta (64-bit), ghostery 8.2.5

ghostery prevents any of the json formatter/viewer chrome extensions from working properly, which i need for web development work.

i only have this issue with chrome canary and blur. this extension failed to redirect a network request to due to blur yadda yadda. yet i have these two working in regular chrome and firefox with no issues.

i really am stating to dislike how im getting pop up ads from this app to make me pay for their service.
| 0 |
i'd love that you would try to know me better, but i dislike that they tracks me!

great, but it uses quite a bit of memory, please lower it.

works great, very well thought of and executed

this is the best thing to happen to or on the net. i love it.

sexy. blocks most ads. some still get through and are not blockable (as in i will block them, but they will show up again after i refresh the page)

should automatically add new cookies and other objects to the filter, instead you have to manually add them yourself.
they have a number of bugs that are breaking the ability to view high profile websites.
now it just auto disables everything on update instead of forcing you to manually add new trackers. i get that it wants to allow websites to function but this is dishonest. i don't care if it's open source, your designing default behavior to be disingenuous and counter intuitive. fix your product and stop making excuses about why you aren't communicating terrible functionality changes. that or stop making the terrible changes to begin with and you won't see as much backlash.

it used to work, but now the last 2 weeks (since january 5, 2017), scrambles facebook comments, + won't let you "pause" ghostery. its now forcing you to make an account <- the antithesis of guarding privacy. i would give it a zero if i could as it completely doesn't work. tried to contact customer service but they do not reply.
| 0 |
a suggestion: site specific options because what may be useful on one site may be annoying on another.

great add-on if you're the type who cares about your privacy

been using this for quite some time and love it, works well with u block for total protection.
been running both together with no problems, any site that wont load or run properly is not worth my time anyway

since latest updates it is slowing down all my browsing.. version 8.0.8.1
use to be good but now just slows down the pages loading to the point i have to turn it off and everything is back to normal..
| 0 |
what a great app. keep yourself informed about the companies that track you across the web.
thanks ghostery this sits aside ad block as one of my must have add-ons.
| 1 |
easy and simple, the fact they provide this for free is blessing

i love this app. face it, you can't get anything perfectly right but if you follow the tutorial and try to learn from it, it's pretty useful. gj guys!!

latest version is blocking facebook, youtube and google hangouts. seems to be blocking google api's and some facebook beacons that are needed. please fix. uninstalled until a fix is confirmed.

love ghostery, but the new update is causing me to not be able to click on certain links on some websites. i talked to my dev team at work and they are looking into it, but no idea what's going on at this point. i turn off ghostery and the links work, turn it on and i can't click certain things.

love it!, i feel a whole lot better knowing that i will browser with out having to be paranoid. i like to say keep up the good work.

i heard, i saw, i downloaded. i love it! so easy to configure and it works great. i have it on both google chrome and torch browsers. thank you!

ghostery have exposed everyone's email address in it's gdpr email notice.
received an email from ghostery about it's compliance with gdpr. everyone's email address has been exposed in the to field instead of bcc being used to hide them.
i am very upset at the ineptness on ghostery's part. i have lost all faith in your product.
you fail on something as rudimentary as blind carbon copy (abbreviated bcc:) that allows the sender of a message to conceal the recipient.

why does it automatically reinstall when the laptop is turned on ???

disqus comments - not working.

my ghost has truned from blue to black and when i click on it it is blank. how do i fix this?
| 0 |
when i middle-click a link to open it in a new tab, i get the "popup blocked" message in the address bar. this happens when ghostery is the only active extension, but doesn't happen when ghostery is deactivated.

i installed it and ran it in its default one-click setting. i tested it on some privacy sites like electronic frontier organization's panopticlick. it passed in "blocking tracking ads" and "stop trackers included in the so-called acceptable whitelist ads" but failed in "blocking invisible trackers" and in "unblock third parties that promise to honor do not track."
it didn't pass fingerprinting, but i am still looking for something that will pass that test.

works great. click settings then visit the options button to block everything. all doubleclick, google connect, beacons, widgets, all ad's,
analytics, privacy, thousands of others. the only 4 i keep open are for audio/music. a must have! adblock 4 is great too if it's still around. blocks all ads on youtube and other streaming video! just like the old days before mega-data was a thing and then the ads came along for the ride.
| 1 |
used to be great, but recently has started to break continued authentication for some sites (google, annoyingly, but also medium), and can't keep itself logged in either, so all my whitelists that are supposed to benefit sites i don't mind ads on become useless. as the technical ability has gone down, things like ghostery rewards have gone up, and i find the downsides in getting sites working are not worth the upsides. sorry ghostery, long time user uninstalling.

with latest version browsing is impossible
| 0 |
since the latest update ghostery has gimped my internet browsing capability. pages fail to load as "waiting on ghostery" displays at the bottom of my screen. youtube videos would fail to load, if the page would load at all. i appreciate what ghostery does but not at this expense. it's disabled now (which did fix the problem) and if you fix this issue i'll re-enable it.
| 0 |
can't find any way to ad things when it misses to block certain elements. that's a giant flaw
| 0 |
i see that the ghost is gray, which means that ads are not being blocked but the extension window will not show up when clicked. also, all options on the website are not working.
| 0 |
thumbs up
working great
like it very much
thank you

there is a conflict when using ghostery with avast online security on chrome. this is a recent occurance with the recent avast program upgrade.
| 0 |
"waiting to ghostery" has become a real problem. need to upgrade the backend because these load delays will cause everyone to jump to an alternative no matter how good the product works.
| 0 |
it does what it says i give it 5 stars
also is this long lasting or is it a trial run.

blocked recaptcha and it took me so long to figure out it was from this extension. couldn't find way to modify the script to unblock recaptcha. wasted hours on useless stuff

i love ghostery but the the june 8, 2019 is crashing constantly. will go back to 5 stars when it is fixed!

best anonymity app i use couple with add block and you have some clean browsing.

gostery is wonderful. not only does it stop ads, (the boxes for the ads are still there, but all of the content, pictures and words are gone!) but it helps me learn about those who would made money by violating my privacy. and it does all this without slowing my system. for me, this is a gift of the first magnitude!

i love the extra information on google

the latest version of this extension seems to leak memory and allocates up to 12g of virtual memory (chrome linux). this memory seems to be mostly unused, just allocated. it still affects system performance. i needed to disable it. i'm currently looking for a different solution instead of ghostery. it was once great but blocking has become intransparent (no clear overview of what is blocked and what isn't) and messes with some of the new gdpr cookie guidelines (preferences are always forgotten, i have to accept cookies each visit again).

a must-have extension ... i really like it
| 1 |
does what it claims to do. no issues. thanks for the great extension!

the app is supposed to download on my devices soon, and did not install in my laptop browser. however, lo and behold the extension did a fine job in my chrome browser. please identify in header as mobile app.

says internal server error when trying to create an account. oh well. was looking forward to using the extension :(

cannot use on social sites that generally screw up if ghostery is functioning on those sites. perhaps there's a trick to it, i just didn't dig too far. for everything else it works great.
| 0 |
ditto. fortunately for me, i spend too much time on facebook anyway, so this is just another feather in ghostrey's hat, as far as i'm concerned.
| 1 |
there's a ton of people experiencing this same issue. middle clicking on a link previously opened a new tab (without issue). latest version of chrome. now, after a reboot, any middle click results in a "pop up blocked", rather than opening a new tab.

easy to use, makes you realize how much you are tracked, and data mined. very worthwhile

this and adblock plus are great together!

another thing to consider also is if you are not signed into your gmail account it may not let you add it.

great product, highly recommend for all users.

it slow down my browsing in any way it is useful and secure
| 0 |
even when i uninstalled this extension the custom rules still stay in place. had to reinstall it to fix the redirects.
| 0 |
this extension so much feeling of security!!!
| 1 |
hmmm....no edit button?
corrections: ...should read '...so it displays warnings between https sites at least 3-6 times a day!!!! and...should read 'the handshaking going on....'
| 1 |
security by default should be a no brainer. until it is though this is a great step for the regular end user.

corruption bug appears to have a workaround. posted by anand bhat:
for all those having issues with the latest version showing as corrupt, try these steps:
1. install extension.
2. once it shows "this extension may have been corrupted", go back to the chrome store and open up this extension's page (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/https-everywhere/gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp).
3. the top of the page will have this text -- "this item has been disabled in chrome. enable this item". click it.
4. extension will get activated!
the developers of this extension are aware of this and it is due to bug in chrome. more details can be found at https://github.com/efforg/https-everywhere/issues/5874#issuecomment-245493840
| 0 |
works great to push https prefix. need to turn it off sometimes to allow images.
| 0 |
can't say i'm having the memory issue that others are (but if that is a concern then chrome itself is the worst browser you could have).
my problem is...why is this not _forcing_ https on all sites that feature it? i shouldn't have to edit ebay's url manually when i have this installed. looking elsewhere
| 0 |
the most recent update is crashing constantly in chrome. it's a great add-on, however with the recent crashes and slowdowns, i had to disable it. i will re-enable it once the crashes are fixed.
| 0 |
i can't find the extension? it says it added t chrome but can't find any where
| 1 |
they removed the ability to add custom force https rules.
*fixed/added back in latest update, thank you.
| 1 |
short answer no, sites that have https enabled do not always go to https by default.
longer answer. some sites allow port 80 (http - without tls/ssl) or port 443 (https - with tls/ssl). those sites will use port 80 unless the user types the https in the address. this tool redirects sites that have both bindings enabled to always use port 443.
| 1 |
this should be a standard feature on all browsers, especially mobile browsers.
| 1 |
the extension is nice, but take a look at chrome's "task manager". this extension eats upto 300 megabytes (!) of memory. while other extension i use (much more complex ones) are staying way under 30 mb.
