Im a long time user of his Extention, it always Great, do what i suppose to do, but this update is the worst! Right cliking on the Ghostery icon only give you blank white page and going to option and setting only redirect you to ghostery page that do nothing. After create an account, I still cant customize the setting,-Cause it nowhere to be found- and Ghostery page keep urging me to install the new version that i already got ( seem it cant detect it own extention- f****n retarted) They leave us no control of what can't or can be block now, and Urge us to make an account -just to change the setting-is just pure Tracking.

I’ve been using Ghostery since forever, but this new update has rendered this extension pointless. Why? Because they've sold out to the trackers, that’s why. And you better believe it too. If you doubt this, then why, when all other blocking extensions (Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin and Disconnect) are disabled, does Ghostery not detect and block Google Analytics? Why, when all other blocking extensions are disabled, does it not find any trackers on Facebook? Both Google and Facebook base their entire business model on tracking you across the internet, yet Ghostery is now waving them on through unchallenged. Take Mashable as another example. I don’t have the exact numbers, but their pages would return 30+ trackers with the old Ghostery. How many now? Nine. Yeah, something fishy going on there. And they are really extracting the urine with this new ‘sign in for more features’ bull. People block trackers to be more secure, anonymous and to be less targeted online. So how does creating a personally identifiable account, which can be cross referenced with tracker blocking habits, which can be cross referenced with browsing habits, make anyone more secure? And why do Ghostery’s settings now redirect to the external URL https://extension.ghostery.com/en_GB/settings and not internally to Chrome. It makes no sense. Maybe they forget that their target audience tends to be of the tinfoil hat variety, maybe they don’t care. The developers have to pay the bills as does everyone else. But who cares about that when the extension no longer delivers on what it promises. Developers, fix all these problems if you like, but the trust I had in your product, built up over many years, has gone. Oh, and for that awful pink bubble, my retinas will never forgive you!

I've used this app for ever and now uninstalled it after this horrific update. It no longer quietly works in the background but has a continual PURPLE list along the right hand side of the screen, listing all the trackers that are blocked, and which continually fills in and shifts and piles up with every page you load or as you sit and browse. This not only blocks the entire side of each page but also PRINTS if you print anything. There's no way to take this off the page unless you manually move your hand/cursor/mouse and "X" it down after which it pops right back up and is now part of your page/screen/Life. Since Google analytics is on every page, let alone 20-50 blocked trackers you will have this giant purple list on every page, always (I had over 100 on one site and have at times 8 tabs open if not 3 browsers) Ghostery is an intrusive mess of epic proportions now. There's no fast, temporary way to suspend the app like there used to be if you're on your banking site or somewhere they need to give you a Cookie, or you find you have to let them see who you are for that moment or are having a problem signing in on some shopping site and figure you'll just turn off your adblocker and Ghostery for a second and see if that's the issue (and it usually is). This whole app has changed and is no longer usable, user friendly or QUIET. It makes the whole comp jerky, makes websites lag and Chrome is running with so much RAM being used (yes, I tested it with and without..it IS Ghostery causing it) that it was just simpler (and sad) to get rid of it. We also had to uninstall it at my office because we're trying to conference call and Skype and we have this GIANT PURPLE LIST popping up while we're showing each other stuff on the web we're researching. It's now impossible to take screen shot because Ghostery is in the way of trying to browse and use your computer. But hey! Why shouldn't they own you like every other app thinks they do out there? Wrong. Ghostery -- Get it together and put the old version up again until you put out a better update.

I used this extensions for years and it always delivered, what it promised, like noticeable faster loading webpages, blocked trackers and much more, though it broke some webpages. But version 7 ruined it, it actually slows down browsing now and heavily scripted GUI with huge font makes it totally unpractical. Basically, it has been discontinued, RIP Ghostery.

Hate the new update. I printed few things and every page has ghostery's circle of number of trackers blocked. I really wished ghostery remained the same and not get any NEW update. Alas it did. Good bye ghostery you were amazing...
