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.

Bluhell Firewall

Lightweight Ad-Blocker and Privacy Protector for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. All we know the availability of popular AdBlockers lying around... but frankly, these are too bloated with several features and options which most of us don't use beyond the defaults. So, this extension was made for those of us who don't care about all that stuff but does about just getting rid of all the nasty resources being loaded by websites.

Adblock Fast

Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their would-be speed and hog your computer or device’s disk space, CPU cycles, and memory. Adblock Fast runs a mere 7 optimized filtering rules to accelerate pages 8x more but consume 6x less system resources than other ad blockers do.

Sanitize

It blocks ads, tracking scripts, social share buttons, pop-ups, and other annoyances from websites you visit. These things all waste mobile data, compromise privacy, and slow down web browsing. Sanitize makes your web browsing experience faster, protects your privacy, and leaves you with more data at the end of the month.
