uBlock Origin Popular and efficient blocker for Chromium, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Thunderbird. Fast and lean. Not a tracker blocker. uBlock Origin may be a great ad blocker, but it does nothing to block trackers. ericwaters • Apr 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree After Ghostery's new update they no longer allow you to individually block ads or social media trackers. It's now an all or nothing selection. Not liking this. Guest • Apr 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Ghostery has its own problems selling data to advertisers.
