Ghostery for Chrome beta progress

Edit Subject

Hi,

Just wondered how you're doing with the new version for Chrome, i.e. with selective blocking per site.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jem,

I haven't forgotten about the beta invitation. We are still working on making it and making it good, that's all. Sorry for the wait.

Alexei,

I am currently using the following browsers:

Nightly /Firefox 24.0a1

Firefox 22.0

Google Chrome 27.01453.93

Opera Ver 12.15 Build 1748

My primary browners are Nightly Firefox and Google Chrome

I am up for any and all.

Tried to reply using Nightly Firefox and then Google Chrome in the GetSatisfaction forum and was not able to bring up a reply function.

Hi Geo,

Which browser are you interested in beta-testing?

Ghostery for Firefox now has a beta channel (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fire... ) but we don't have any betas available at this time.

I know I'm being a terrible nag, but that's only because I'm really keen for per site blocking to be available in Chrome. How's it going?

Aexei,

Many thanks, just received the extension for Chrome. No issues with install (did disable the last full version of Ghostery). Was able to step through all the install wizard and setup functions without issues. Would like to see some of the features added to the advanced setup/settings without having to go into the Widget Options/Settings area. This may be missed even by fully sighted users.

The black box popup with black shading and blacktext with white lines is almost invisible to my level of vision. If the overall box background could be just slightly gray and the text darkest black then it would be much easier for vision impaired users. I am on a Dell Inspiron i5 Intel laptop with my fonts set at 20 point and increased 125 percent today. Vision comes and goes as two Avastin injections last week Wednesday (No. 16 & 17 over the years to save my sight are just now begging to do their job this month).

  Hi Geo,
  
  Thanks for checking out the beta!
  
  It sounds like Ghostery's alert bubble is hard to see for you, is that right? If so, you should add your voice to https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/...

  Alexei,
  Exactly, hard to see with Chrome. The larger issue is my visual limitations.

In the last three weeks of using the Beta Extension for Google Chrome I have not noticed any issues or problems.

Will there be another text version before final release.
The beta looks to be solid.

George
p.s. since having three Avastin injections across both eyes in the last two months I have seen a slight improvement in my vision. Will return to my retinal specialist on the 9th of September for another laser scan and two injections. https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/...#

George, thanks for using the beta and thanks for checking in!

At this point, it looks like we are going to update Ghostery for Chrome to 5.0.0 for everyone pretty soon. I'll send you an e-mail once that's done so that you'll know to deactivate the beta and reactivate/update your official Ghostery install.

Alexei,

Deactivating and reactivating/updating the official Ghostery install is the easy button.
