Ghostery is more than just an ad blocker

Ghostery is a modular privacy platform combining ad blocking, anti-tracking, consent management, private search, and transparency. Available across all major browsers on desktop and mobile, it delivers consistent protection on all your devices.

Ad Blocking

Advanced blocking

Blocks ads on YouTube, Facebook, and all other websites. Removes banners, video ads, pop-ups, and sponsored content before they load, so you can browse faster, focus better, and enjoy a clean, distraction-free experience across the web.

Tracker Protection

Anti-tracking

Replaces your data with random values, anonymizes your identity for data collectors. Prevents trackers from building detailed profiles about you by masking identifying signals and minimizing the information websites and third parties can collect while you browse.

Cookie Management

Never-Consent

Automatically rejects tracking cookies and sends opt-out signals. Handles cookie pop-ups for you by declining non-essential tracking, reducing consent fatigue, and ensuring your privacy preferences are enforced consistently across supported websites.

Transparency

WhoTracks.Me

Integrated with Ghostery, shows which companies are tracking you on every page. Provides transparent insights into the trackers behind websites, helping you understand who is collecting your data, helping you decide which trackers to block or allow.

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.

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.

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

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 β€˜Never-Consent’ to cookies.
great it's blocks also cookies consent dialogs- loving it

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.
