Ratings and Reviews
Great app however…
I’ve been using Ghostery for maybe like 2 months and I’ve noticed something weird. The past month every time I close the safari window and re-open it, the menu for Ghostery just well, stops. Like it stops working and I can’t turn on and off Ghostery. Also, you sometimes get ads when you use it. I suggest it for a good ad blocker but be warned it doesn’t work the best unlike paid ad blockers. Still, great ad blocker!
The only AdBlocker for Apple you ever need
Highly recommended, thanks to fellow Fellow redditors. This is the most powerful and user-friendly ad blocker I’ve ever used. It’s lightweight, free, and works flawlessly across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It not only blocks ads, trackers, and pop-ups but also manages cookies, eliminating the need for separate tools.
One of the standout features is its visual interface. The app provides a detailed pie chart that breaks down everything it’s blocking—site analytics, trackers, ads, and cookies—giving you full transparency into its performance.
It integrates seamlessly across devices, operates quickly, and doesn’t compromise browsing speed or device performance. With its comprehensive functionality and intuitive design, this app is a must-have for anyone serious about ad and cookie blocking.

Works as intended!
Acording to the EFF Cover Your Tracks tool, using a host of popular browsers including Brave, Firefox, etc. (iOS and on Win 11), the closest I have came to a non-unique score for fingerprinting has been on Safari with this extension. So far it has been working as intended as an ad blocker, and seemingly, fingerprint blocker! I love the stats page like on the desktop version to see what is being blocked, as well as an ongoing count of ads/trackers blocked.

Many thanks for your review! 💙
We're happy to be of service and help protect your privacy online!
