Overview
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. Moreover, Ghostery is: * Open source * Supported by thousands of contributors worldwide * Free to use forever Ghostery is free for everyone. Take back control over your digital privacy and become a Contributor to Ghostery. Contributors 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!

Change back the pause button, instead of having it hidden.

Hi there, Thanks for your message! The "Pause Ghostery" button moved one level deeper into settings for better protection. You can "Trust a site", pausing Ghostery of the site of your choice from the panel with one click and scoped in time for enhanced general protection. Best, Ghostery Team

I have used it for years, but the latest update that removed the pause button from the extension makes it no longer useable. The extension will break websites often, and you have to toggle it off to continue whatever you are trying to do. It is a very self-interested choice for them to favor hoarding your data rather than providing an optimal user experience. Remember, when a tech product is free, your data is the product. This change is a major red flag.....RUN
