Ghostery is a comprehensive privacy suite designed to give users control over their online data and browsing experience. It includes several key components:
- Tracker & Ad Blocker: Blocks ads, stops trackers, and prevents cookie pop-ups across various browsers.
- Private Search: Offers unbiased search results free from tracking and profiling, providing tracker information alongside search results.
- WhoTracks.Me: Provides insights into the online tracking industry, its structure, and data-sharing practices.
- Privacy Digest: A newsletter delivering the latest trends, insights, and best practices in online privacy and security.
Ghostery's browser extension neutralizes trackers by removing personal identifiers and replacing them with random values, preventing data collectors from identifying users. The private search engine delivers impartial results and identifies trackers before users visit a site. With over 100 million downloads, Ghostery has been fighting for user privacy for over 15 years, always maintaining an open-source approach.
