I'm using #Firefox, and I have #AdBlocker and #Ghostery installed. I'm still getting some cookie requests. Why? What am I missing? Do I need to install ALL the cookie blocking apps? #internet #InternetOfShit
Wer #Homebrew auf dem Mac nutzt, sollte hier hellhörig werden.
Habe gerade brewe.sh in #PiHole, #NextDNS und #Ghostery gesperrt

@pernillet Open source software to the rescue! #ublockorigin , #ghostery and #firefox with containers will offer good protection agsinst the ad hell.
Now explain why there is no micropayment service for media, that would allow to chip in - without tracking, of course :)
In case someone uses the Ghostery brower.
Sunsetting the Ghostery Private Browser
Key Points:
Ghostery Private Browser (formerly Dawn) will be discontinued.
Use Firefox + Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker on Android and Desktop.
Use Safari + Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker on iOS and iPadOS.
This change lets us focus on advancing anti-tracking and ad-blocking technologies.

Tale of the red giant and the little dwarves
Goodbye Chrome, Hello Ghostery Browser! A New Dawn In The Browser Wars!
This dream involved me testing the Mozilla Firefox web browser with the Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker web browser extension.
I also tested the Ghostery Privacy Browser web browser, which has built-in ad blocking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yoU6j_IxlE
I tested them online against many advertisement (ad) filled websites, especially bootleg websites.
This was all done from my desktop computer using the Linux distribution (distro) Ubuntu LTS.
My goal was to compare the ad blocking abilities between both of them.
I wanted to see if there was a difference.
Was there a difference between using the Ghostery web browser extension and it being built into the web browser?
I also wanted to see if it was worth using instead of Brave Browser or Mozilla Firefox with Ghostery installed.
At some point, my computer crashed / froze.
I started to worry as I feared that a malicious ad or something had done this.
Then I wondered why I did this from my computer.
I questioned why I did not use a virtual machine or a live USB with Ubuntu instead.
I probably was not even using private mode.
Then I hoped that I was not a victim of a session hijacking attack.
I did not want all of my passwords, browser cookies, et cetera stolen / copied.
I woke up as I restarted my computer, hoping for the best.
The hope was that Linux, Ubuntu, would be more resistant if my fears were correct.
I also prepared for the worst while wondering why I did something so stupid.
The end,
- John Jr

@bookwar #ublockorigin #ghostery #consent-o-matic and #sponsorblock exist!
But I see your point.
What do you folks think of Ghostery and Ad Block Plus? 
I know, I know, I use uBlock Origin, too!
Just asking, coz I remember reading something sus about them 
Just want to confirm, as I can't find anything on the web! 
Nie spodziewałem się, że to kiedyś nastąpi ... :/
Zastąpiona przez fork #Mercury, który z kolei pozbierał różne patche liska z #LibreWolf, #Waterfox, #FireDragon, #PlasmaFox i #Ghostery.
Testuję też #floorp

@jwildeboer
> Ghostery is going down the dark path, they just whitelisted a lot of the typical ad networks for unknown reasons
Didn't one of the older tracking blockers go that way? Maybe it was AdBlock+ and that's why I moved to uBlock.
Me:
> Maybe time to replace uBlock Origin?
Guess not then.
If this news has you looking for an alternative to #Ghostery, I like the one-two punch of Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin (with the oisd blocklist).

@AAKL I’ve lost confidence in #Ghostery after it have been purchased in 2017. Strange things started to appear.
It has been the same with #AdBlockPlus

I use #Ghostery on Safari and that blocks ads well enough? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
