Ghostery is a browser extension that blocks ads, trackers, and cookie pop-ups across Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari, and Yandex. It provides detailed tracker reporting and relies on a large, frequently updated tracker database.

Use cases

  • block ads on youtube and facebook
  • stop trackers from collecting my data
  • auto-dismiss cookie consent pop-ups
  • see which trackers are on a webpage
  • preview trackers on search results
  • speed up slow ad-heavy websites

When to choose

  • you want a cross-browser privacy extension with ad and tracker blocking
  • you need detailed per-site tracker analytics
  • you want automatic cookie banner handling with dissent expression

When to avoid

  • you need a full privacy-focused browser rather than an extension
  • you want network-level or system-wide ad blocking
  • you need a non-browser platform
