## Ghostery is more than just an ad blocker

Ghostery provides several applications that work together to ensure optimal privacy protection. Whether you need an ad blocker, a tracker neutralizer, or a private search engine, Ghostery has you covered.

Tracker & Ad Blocker

Supported on every browser and device, the Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker Extension is built to block ads, stop trackers, hide ads, and prevent pop-ups while you browse the web.

Ghostery neutralizes trackers, preventing them from collecting your personal data. Our browser extension removes personal identifiers and replaces them with random values, leaving data collectors clueless about your identity.

Cheryl Firefox Browser ADD-ONS

Finally, a free Adblock that just works! \[...\] buried in a Reddit threat, I learnt about Ghostery. It’s a free adblocker, with some nifty features built in.

Sacred Flame App Store

Excellent work, best ad blocker ever

Bolaji Chrome Web Store

Best ad-blocker I've ever used! I love the Ghostery 10 redesign and 'Never Consent'!

Gabriel Firefox Browser ADD-ONS

For me Ghostery is a fire and forget extension since 2016. I am very content with it and on every new laptop I buy I am using it. I love your app.

Ghostery is a top notch browser tool. I even bought your t-shirts to prove it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Installing the Ghostery app immediately removed all the annoying pop-ups on my phone! Thank you very much!!

Ghostery hasn’t given me any problems since I installed it years ago \[...\] It is as reliable as the proverbial copper wire! I also enjoy the Privacy Digest. Very informative and educational.

Suoa

… Well done and thank you for your service to humanity.

Maximillian Chrome Web Store

Thank you on your excellent product. The day the ads took over 1/2 the screen, I realized just how incredibly annoying they are, & how grateful I am for your program.

Connie

I have it on Chrome and Firefox and does the trick quick n easy.

Mike Chrome Web Store

Blocked annoying cookie files consent (thanks EU) for free

Alex

I have been using Ghostery for years. It is a good feeling to know they are protecting me while I am browsing online. But the feature I love most is their ‘Never-Consent’ to cookies.

Kate

great it's blocks also cookies consent dialogs- loving it

Jin Chrome Web Store

I would not even consider traveling to a site without Ghostery leading the way.

dopeydragon Firefox Browser ADD-ONS

Has worked well for me. Tools such as this that protect your privacy online are increasingly important.

IronicK Firefox Browser ADD-ONS

Ghostery is great, the released Never-Consent suppressing cookie popups is a master, and in addition, deleting ads on Safari on Youtube is also a glory.

## FAQ

### What’s an ad blocker?

An ad blocker is a browser extension that prevents ads from loading while you browse the web. It blocks video ads, stops banners, pop ups and other intrusive elements before they appear on the page. Because many ads contain hidden trackers that collect information about what you read or click, an ad blocker also blocks those tracking scripts from loading. By stopping both ads and their embedded trackers, an ad blocker speeds up page loading, reduces data usage, and strengthens your privacy every time you go online.

### Why is Ghostery better than other ad blockers?

Ghostery blocks more than just ads, and this makes it more effective than many other ad blockers. It stops the trackers hidden inside advertising scripts, giving you stronger privacy protection on every page you visit. Ghostery also shows you exactly which companies try to follow you online, offering real transparency rather than working silently in the background. With the Never-Consent feature automatically denying tracking requests inside cookie pop-ups, Ghostery keeps pages cleaner, loads sites faster, and gives you meaningful control over your information from the moment you start browsing.

### Can I use Ghostery Ad Blocker on different devices?

Yes, you can use Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker on all your devices. Ghostery works on major desktop and mobile browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari, and Brave. You can install it on as many devices as you like to block ads, stop trackers, and enhance your privacy wherever you browse. Each installation works independently, so you get the same protection whether you are on your laptop, phone, or tablet.
