Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Ghostery counts more than 100+ million downloads worldwide.

Ghostery for Safari provides safe, fast, and clutter-free browsing for free. The browser extension upgrades your Safari 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 Safari 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 Safari.

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.
* Managing your adblock, antitracking, and cookie popup removal function in one click.

Moreover, Ghostery is:

* Open source
* Supported by thousands of contributors worldwide
* Free to use forever

Ghostery’s core features are free for everyone. Take your experience to the next level and become a contributor to access extension themes, priority support, and historical statistics. Contributors also 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!

Last update not working

Since updating, anti-Adblock pop up messages have been showing up everywhere. Please fix this.

Hmmm seems to have quit working

Lately I see Ads on sites that used to not show them when Ghostery extension was working on Safari. What’s happened???

The best of the ad blocking lot

Probably as close as safari users are going to get to the efficiency and comprehensiveness of ublock origin. I can’t say enough positive things about this app, from the level of support, to the added speed of loading web pages. Oh, and it is free, though if you use it and enjoy it, why not pay a nominal fee?

Lightweight. Works great!

Simple. Easy to use.

Dude seriously $4.99 a month greed ruins it!!

First and most importantly there are other apps Filr, Bolt, Hush that do exactly the same as this app for a modest 1 time payment or even as free Adblock utilities working perfectly fine. That a browser that’s been around forever had its ups and downs a developer not always on top of updates HONESTLY tell me truthfully why anyone should just give you $4.98 a month? Honestly sell your App explain in the middle of economic turbulence YOUR greed benefits anymore but yourself AND again your record for app updates is murky at best and only when enough people call you out do you bother updating it!! Truly shameful, again for others look up Wipr, Bolt, Hush, and if you really wanna pay support AdGuard who actually does it right and has an awesome app experience with 16.4.1 Never ever give into Greed especially from a 10 year old app free on the android side. #appfail

Free or Not?

It says it’s free but trying to try it to see what it’s about I can’t get past a subscribe now screen. Well I might if I knew what it was about but not as blank do-it option…

Oh how I love monthly subscriptions… 🤔🧐🤦‍♂️

Not really. Uninstalled.

Adds showing up on all sites after recent update

App doesn’t work

Got this app on my new iPad Pro and it doesn’t work. Very disappointing that adblocker doesn’t work on IOS, so decided to try out this one that tomsguide suggested. Doesn’t block ads and I’ve tried it from a few sites from YouTube to Fox News to others. It just doesn’t work.

Update is nice!

New update looks clean and fresh. Much welcomed!
