![]() If you disagree with what I've leave, that's fine. While lengthy, it's all the info you'll need to made a good decision about using the app. I'm going to paste Lifehacker's thoughts, along with Ghostery's response below. All in all, a fairly comprehensive look at the product, from both sides. I have LifeHackers spin on Ghostery, AND, a response to LH's thoughts by the company which owns Ghostery. I rely on research I've done, and use common sense. ![]() I've gotten two questions recently about the app "Ghostery", my review of which appears above. UPDATE 05-13-15: Web Security is a serious thing. Someone related to Evidon or Ghostery is bound to squeal in response to serious allegations. Better to not be in bed with Ghostery on the consumer side. If a company is in bed with advertisers, almost certainly selling results of your browsing habits. It's helpful to give advertisers Ghostery's data because advertisers don't generally want to target people who have opted out of advertising, he says.ī. "This is not a scheme," MIT quotes Scott Meyer, Evidon's CEO, as saying. Millions of consumers use ad-blockers hoping to get away from all that flash marketing which can be such an annoyance.Ī report today (06-18-13) says that one of the most popular ad-blocking services, Ghostery, is collecting data about your browsing habits all the time it's blocking ads, allowing its parent company, Evidon, to sell that data to advertisers! Ghostery tracks over 1,400 trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity." Ghostery is your window into the invisible web tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior. I don't really keep any logins active except this forum.Here's how Ghostery (a consumer Ad Blocking system) describes how they work: Restarting the router anyway, at least as far as the IP is displayed is changed. However, I use MWB privacy on iPhone, iPad and Mac and the problem is only on the Mac it does not show up on my father's Mac and iPhone without vpn. I hope to be able to change it as soon as possible. Talking to my ISP is a lost cause at the outset. I'd definitely recommend talking to your ISP about how to do that. I'd still say that forcing your externally-visible IP address to change would be a key thing to try, and rebooting the modem that is responsible for that IP address may not actually force it to change. It's possible that you wouldn't see it if you were logged in, but it's also possible it wouldn't make a difference, and if you're not logged in because you don't want Google tracking you, that wouldn't be an ideal solution. That could be a factor, but I doubt that's the only factor. The problem has resolved itself, I have not done anything, indeed I have not used the Mac for several hours I can provide, within the limits of my technical possibilities, as long as no private and/or sensitive data are transmitted, any help necessary to help you solve the problem. I have also already tried removing it completely, reinstalling it, restarting the Mac In the best case scenario, the switch remains active on the particular website but the main one is disabled (even just by closing and reopening the extension panel) The only other extensions installed are Super Agent for automatic acceptance of technical cookies (which had never given any problems) and 1Blocker, which is not active (however also all three together did not give this problem, 1blocker is disabled only because it does not allow me at the moment to use some web sites very important for me) I use a Mac with Chip M1, macOS Monterey macOS 12.1 (21C52) plus MWB Premium + Privacy As you can see from the attached screenshots taken in quick sequence (within 13 seconds according to the title created by macOS) Malwarebytes Browser Guard does not remain active
