Ghostery won't uninstall

Edit Subject

Whenever I try to remove Ghostery from my Chrome extension page, it says it was successfully removed, but every time I close/reopen the browser, Ghostery is back and opens up a walkthrough page that you get when you first install it.

How do I actually remove Ghostery?

Hi Luls,

Thanks for trying Ghostery!

removing from the extensions menu is the way to remove it. Do you have it synched with another machine? Any other extensions active? Try disabling all of them and removing ghostery and then restarting the browser?

What do you mean synced with another machine? Like another computer?
And yeah I have adblock active, would that stop Ghostery from being removed?

  Yes another machine. It shouldn't stop it from being removed. I'm not sure what would be preventing the removal.

  Maybe try unchecking or checking "Developer Mode" ?

  Didn't work, but I discovered something different. Instead of just happening whenever I uninstall, Ghostery resets itself every time I close my browser.
  
  Mainly the reason I want to uninstall it is because my laptop is pretty slow and the alert bubble was making webpages load slower, so I tried disabling the alert bubble, and when I reset my browser I got the walk-through page again and the alert bubble still showed up on sites.

  try clicking "Skip Wizard" and then restart the browser... then uninstall.. must be something tripped that it thinks its starting the first time every time.
