I’m frustrated

Not Safe

Would you be so kind in telling me why I cannot turn a tracker off? Please contact me asap. I thought I was safe and as it seems, I was NOT. I have a Windows 7 and use Chrome Browser. Will I get a email or will I have to go somewhere to find my answer.

    In the settings wizard I have all but widgets blocked (which effectively blocks 1312 trackers on Chrome) , and in the pop down bubble you get to see all the sites that are tracking you based on the site you landed on....all you got to do is click the little ghost image and toggle the blocking from on to off....
    Log out of your Google account and log back on...the ghostery wizard starts up and lets you choose all the blocking that ghost-rank is able to do....
    I am quite happy with it since it is a free service....
    Ghostery is right up there with Ad Block and No Script in my opinion..
    Ad Block is too strong for my needs though....and No Script (Firefox) sometimes blocks too much too....

    Hi Amy,

    Thanks for using Ghostery!

    Are you having issues enabling blocking in the options menu or in the panel?

    also, which browser and version of Ghostery are you using?

    Talk with you soon.
