Ghostery 8.5

Introducing Ghostery, a powerful Firefox add-on that allows you to track and block the analytics gadgets that are constantly monitoring your online activities. With Ghostery, you can gain insight into the trackers that appear on each webpage, giving you the ability to block them, view their script source, or learn more about their purpose.

When Ghostery detects no trackers, it remains gray, but as soon as it identifies any monitoring tools, it turns red and highlights the specific trackers it has found. A warning is displayed in the taskbar, along with a small floating square that lists the names of the bugs and trackers on the current website.

While Ghostery does not provide comprehensive protection, it does offer the ability to block specific sites once you have discovered them tracking your online movements. This makes Ghostery an invaluable tool for those who are genuinely interested in understanding how the internet monitors user activity.

With a total of 518 trackers and 345 protected domain cookies (LSO), Ghostery provides in-depth detail for those who want to delve into the mechanics of analytics tracking. The latest version, v2.5.3, includes bug fixes and improvements such as a customized button for Firefox 4 that can be easily added to any available toolbar.

Experience the power of Ghostery and take control of your online privacy today!
