Wasn’t Ghostery bought by a data broker/ad company?
Ghostery was also intimately involved with what is now Brave Search, IIRC.
Yes. If you use Ghostery and are looking for an alternative I highly recommend Privacy Badger. It’s created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and is free and open source. Great piece of software.
Yes they were, and they used what you personally blocked to better enable ads that would bypass their adblocker. They had some catchy name for it, I don’t remember what. When they were exposed for their practices the privacy community did a mass uninstall. These features actually seem good, but I will never trust them again.
I tried to follow the link just to look at it, my firewall blocks it for ‘tracking’, I could bypass it but once bitten, twice shy.
Yes, but the same as with Startpage. Despite the company, it’s privacy features are already valid (GDPR), better as DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and other privacy search engines, the only seach engines without any tracker and/or ads are Andisearch. MetaGer, Mojeek, GetPage, Groot Search and few more, but it’s depend of which data is collected to put in risk the privacy, tecnical data are not the same as personal data. Ads and trackers are anyway blocked with the adblockers everybody use, the risk is only the logging of the user activity and this none of the privcy search engines do.
My thoughts exactly… Hard pass
