Ghostery blocks Flash video on Google Chrome
Blocks most ad trackers on Google Chrome, but also blocks flash videos. I have to disable it to watch videos. Otherwise it is a great program!

Hi Tommy,
Could you provide some examples of broken videos you've come across? This will help us try to solve these issues on our end. -

I can't see videos (trailers) on the imdb.com site. Specifically, http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1464...
If you can determine which script is essential, I can decide whether it's worth it to whitelist the site.
Great product, BTW-
Looks like you have to unblock DoubleClick to watch the trailer. You could also tell Ghostery to not block at all on the trailer's page, which makes more sense if you want to keep blocking DoubleClick elsewhere.

Most New York Times Video is blocked on Safari until I turn off Ghostery?
Reliably, I get a Brightcove Javascript error and no video (a "black hole" on the screen) for NY Times multimedia, until I disable Ghostery.
Found by guessing, see this reported only for Chrome.
Workaround?
Thanks -

Hi William,
The videos on NY Times are powered by Brightcove, so you have to unblock Brightcove in order to watch the videos.
We plan on making this connection more clear in the future.
Whenever you run into an issue with a page, the quickest solution is to tell Ghostery to not block on that page (instead of disabling Ghostery everywhere). To do so, click on "Edit Blocking Preferences", click "Don't Block on ..." and then reload.
Thanks for using Ghostery! -
