I'm running IE 11 (11.0.9600.17501) on Windows 7 SP1.
I installed ghostery, configured it, and.... I have no ghost. I see Ghostery in my "addons" list, but there is seriously no little clickable ghost *anywhere* in IE - and I have enabled Menu/Favorites/Command/Status bars to make sure. It's not hiding behind the two chevrons >> , only OneNote is hiding there....
It's not in Tools/Toolbars/Customize.
I have zero ghost.
I also have zero "here are the trackers" bubble. (In opera, it was at the bottom and I could open/close it..)
This seems to mean that I can't configure ghostery, uninstall it, see what it's blocking, pause, whitelist, or anything.
This seems less than useful....

I realize ghosts are transparent, but GEEZ!

Hey There,
Thanks for using Ghostery!
Are you logged in as administrator?Comment -

Why do you ask? Are you suggesting that the correct way to run Ghostery (and therefore IE) is the most dangerous way to run in Windows? As administrator?
I subscribe to the principle of least privilege -- I really don't want an undetected virus to muck around with my device drivers or rootkit me. Running as administrator would allow any malicious code Administrative level access.
While installation of applications can require elevation to perform the task, any user-mode application that requires an arbitrary user to be administrator to *run* it is badly written and dangerous.
tl;dr no way.-
Just asking questions :-) Since I'm not sitting at your machine, The only way to replicate a use case is to try and mimic the users set up as best as I can.
Ghostery for IE does require you to be logged in as Admin for installation, but not for use. But it sounds like you were not logged in as Admin during installation and so I am wondering if all set up files were not loaded. I just need to get as much info to go back to our dev team to get feedback from them. -

I elevated to *install* it. Your question was "are you logged in as administrator" which is a different question :)

I'm also having this issue with IE11. I can see Ghostery in the add-ones but I can't see any way to configure it. I've used it on both Opera and Chrome so know what to expect. No toolbars or anything.
It's working though as I had to turn it off to reply on here, but no popup to show anything is blocked.
But without any indication if it's blocking anything or any way to change the settings it's pretty useless :(
IE11.09600.17631 on Windows 8.1 logged on as administrator.-
Can you email me? pete@ghostery.com.. I have a beta that may solve this.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled [IE 11] Ghostery button disappearing and alert bubble setting not saving.
Few issues I have with the current IE 11.0.9600... Win 7 x64
-Install IE Ghoster 4.0.0 -> https://www.ghostery.com/en/download -> click on support where it opens a new window and the button will disappear. Make sure to block all trackers first; may help replicate the issue.
Update: This happens to other sites as well where the button just disappears for reasons unknown. Seems when opening a new window it does that or if it isn't the main window/first tab.
-Ghostery alert bubble defaults to 15 after setting it to 5 and saving then rechecking in Advanced options to see if it saved but it didn't. -
