  • Ghostery

    Ghostery sees the invisible web - tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons. Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity. After showing you who's tracking you, Ghostery also gives you a chance to learn more about each company it identifies. How they describe themselves, a link to their privacy policies, and a sampling of pages where we've found them are just a click away.

  • AdAway

    An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses.

You can automatically download hosts files from the app but it is possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists.

    Lightweight Ad-Blocker and Privacy Protector for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.

    • Discontinued The link to the extension no longer exists. Likely discontinued after legacy extension support was dropped on Firefox.
