Ghostery Privacy Browser

ask user to change the rating

I haven’t had many problems using the app so far, but there’s some stuff that I’d still like to see that was present before the update. 1) make it easier to access bookmarks / favorites, put a button to look through them on the main toolbar or something. If these links are favorites, people would want to be able to access them immediately and with only one click needed to be able to open them 2) the organization of the tabs feels cluttered, for both going through the private and regular tabs. I liked the pre-update tab setup of being able to see all the tabs at once, which made it much easier to visualize and to toggle through them, I’d like to see that brought back. Maybe being able to see all regular tabs at once, with a different window for all the private tabs as well 3) have the option to remove the “offers” section. I think a lot of people don’t want to see this, and it’s annoying having this more present than the bookmarks / favorites

This is almost a fantastic browser. Instead it's so infuriating I am constantly on the verge of just deleting it. Why the hell can't I long-press a link and be given the explicit option of opening it in a new tab or a new background tab? Safari can do it. Firefox can do it. DuckDuckGo can do it. Brave can open in a new tab plus provides an option to open in a private tab. I refuse to use Chrome because of privacy concerns and plenty of acceptable alternatives but I bet it can do it too. This is basic functionality and if there is an option to enable this in settings I can't find it. Ghostery simply provides an option to "open" which is no different than tapping the link rendering it superfluous and could be removed with no loss of functionality for the user. To make matters worse, this browser does actually open links in new tabs, but in a seemingly random and opaque manner. I frequently end up shocked to discover numerous tabs have been opened while clicking links during the course of normal browsing without me being aware of it. This unexpected and bizarre behavior plus the apparent lack of an option to intentionally open links in a new tab almost ruins what is otherwise a great browser.

....I just installed the “new” Ghostery and it seems to have deleted ALL of the my bookmark folders! Over the years of using this app, I’ve created different folders within the app for the different catagories of bookmarks I’ve saved. For example, when saving a bookmark/favorite webpage that deals with “iPhones”, I create a folder called “Apple” and save all Apple related bookmarks to that folder and so on. Unfortunately, after installing this new version of Ghostery, the app deleted all of my bookmark folders and dumped all my bookmarks together under the “favorites” tab and now my bookmarks are no longer organized the way they use to be! What a mess!! Furthermore the ability to create new bookmark folders has been removed from the app entirely! AAARGH!!! The excellent minimalistic design of the previous version of Ghostery has been replaced by this new over the top version which is riddled with painfully bright colors and features I never wanted. Why the developers of this app thought it was a good idea to remove the bookmark folder feature is beyond me. I will not be updating this app on the rest of my iOS devices.👎👎😢

as a loyal Ghostery user for years, i personally believe this to be 1 of the best privacy/anti-tracker instruments out there. it help make allowing data u want thru the customizable plethora of anti-track filters as it is to block what u don’t. i firmly believe privacy is an innate right & that we should have control over what info we want to share w/ the world & ppl around us. not that the vast majority of ppl need to be totally anonymous while webbing for work or play, just that our personal & private lives on the web shouldn’t be bought & sold as a commodity either! this app helps stop the all the unnecessary data miners & corporate trackers that buy & sell ur info. w/o u even knowing, work that much harder to get it. paired w/ DuckDuckGo search engine (a selectable option in settings) it can help keep ur info online more secure & private.

Ghostery's tracker-blocking system is the best way to take back control of your browsing, and here it is integrated into its own web browser for iOS. I do not use Safari much now that I have the Ghostery web browser. The new Reader View mode added in version 2.0, with its ability to select text size and choose between a san-serif and serif font, is a very welcome addition. 2.0 now provides detailed information about trackers and ad blocking, giving the user an easy interface for trusting the site (suspending blocking) or turning individual trackers on and off on a per-site basis. Ghostery for iOS now has a level of control like the Ghostery plug-ins for desktop browsers on Mac and Windows.
