Per-site Selective Tracker Whitelisting

Edit Subject

It would be nice to only block specific trackers on specific sites. As far as I can tell you can add to Whitelist domain but it is all or none. Regardless I love the product so please don't take this as a criticism.

There are two use cases for this issue, that really deserve separate solutions:

* Sites that break w/ missing trackers. The surrogate script solution addresses this issue.
* Site-specific unblocks for functionality. My primary use case is to enable Disqus for certain blogs I frequent, but having it blocked by default.

For the site-specific unblock, I suggest the UI and functional model used by RequestPolicy and Cookie Monster: you can whitelist a domain, a bug/tracker, or a specific domain -> bug/tracker edge.

Hi everyone,

Site-specific tracker unblocking is now available in Chrome, Safari and Opera since the Ghostery 5.0.0 release.

Hi everyone, thanks for waiting.

Latest release of Ghostery for Firefox v2.9+ allows you to do Selective Whitelisting. Here is a short video about the release and new panel that has this feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...

The same panel will be available for all other browsers shortly. Thanks!

At reviews.cnet.com/macfixit, for instance, I must have CBS Interactive (and all it encompasses) enabled in order to log in, but I do not want to disable all blocking on the site just to enable that one bug.

Can the functionality be implemented?

I've only run into one instance of the issue, but I suspect that it will become common as Web sites develop means to bypass services like Ghostery.

Thanks.

(Pisses me off!)

I would really want this feature.
As far as I know, there is still no way to allow certain objects/trackers for specific websites/domains only.

As it is now, if I want/need 1 object on the page/domain to not be blocked, I have to either allow ALL the objects on that page/domain, or else allow that single object across ALL websites I visit — which is not always desired (particularly when a blocked object breaks a page/feature from working)

Hello there!
I'm using Ghostery for a week now and I'm overwhelmed! So first of all: thank you!!

I visited sky.de and wanted to watch a Video when I realized that, for some reason, I need to disable blocking for "SMART adServer" first.

I'll make my peace with allowing that on sky.de but I do not want to be tracked on any other site.
Moreover, there are five other trackers on that site, so whitlisting it is no option!

Since I did not find any option do allow this specific tracker on that certain site, I'd like to ask you to please please please consider implementing this option!!

I find the Bitdefender QuickScan page a good tool for getting a second opinion on an installed AV application, and checking the contents of a sandbox. Unfortunately, Ghostery blocks the script which the scanner needs in order to function, and I would prefer not to whitelist all content from Omniture. Would you be willing to whitelist this one script? [download.bitdefender.com/resources/scripts/omniture/200909219/code.js?1947325]

"Whitelisted Sites
You can specify a list of sites on which Ghostery will not block any trackers."

Clearly[?], this approach is too broad. It is just this one script downloaded from this one server which is required, not everything.

  Until this feature is complete, you should add this site to your whitelist. This will allow all trackers on it to load, but you'll still be blocking those trackers elsewhere.

I'm not a native, so please, bear with me.

Is there a setting to block certain trackers across every website even if some website that have them are whitelisted? (ie if a website has a facebook plugin that I don't want to see/load, yet I want to support them by allowing the ads to load).

Thanks in advance, I hope I've been clear enough

Hi,

Are you getting any closer to achieving this? I do favour Ghostery due to the thoroughness of the blocking but per-site Selective Tracker whitelisting is really needed. I note the DNTMe for Abine achieves this currently. Is there something to be learned from that?

Thanks.

  It's a shame that Chrome users are not given the opportunity to Beta test this as well. Adblock achieves this by making dev builds available and using the '--enable-easy-off-store-extension-install' command line switch when starting Chrome. Could you not do the same?

  Chrome doesn't provide a built-in way of providing a beta channel; supporting this ourselves requires extra work and there hasn't been real demand. Our resources are limited; wouldn't you rather we work on features such as this one instead?
  
  If you'd like to receive a beta build for Chrome, send an e-mail to my name at ghostery dot com, and I'll set you up when we have something ready.

How can I block specific content on a specific site? For example I want the facebook content on a specific site so I can read comments (because they are done through facebook account) but I want none of the rest.

The problem though is that if I edit blocking options and choose to leave facebook content it doesn't just get unblocked for this site but for all sites as I can see in the trackers options...

Can I allow a tracker on one site only, rather than allowing it on all sites or none? There is a site I use that has roughly 18 trackers. I only need to allow one of them to get the site to work, and blocking that tracker on other sites doesn't break them. So I need to tell Ghostery to only block that tracker on one specific site. So far, I haven't figured out how to do that. Is it possible yet?

It seems that my choices in Ghostery are to unblock everything on one site, or to unblock one tracker on every site. But I want to unblock one tracker on one site. For example, I don't want Facebook Social Graph 99% of the time, but there is one site where I find it useful — which has nine other trackers I don't want.

Is there a way to do this?

It would be handy to be able to whitelist a widget or other thing. For instance, I use disqus and a few other comment systems. Having to manually go through extensive lists is tedious and time-consuming.

It would be handy to be able to whitelist a widget or other thing. For instance, I use disqus and a few other comment systems. Having to manually go through extensive lists is tedious and time-consuming.

I would love to be able to temporarily enable certain trackers on specific sites. For example, mapmyrun.com uses Facebook Connect. I would like to enable it specifically for that site. Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to enable Facebook connect for a specified period of time.

Selectively blocking tracking.

Selectively disabling a tracker or not blocking on certain site is good. But combined option would be better for advanced user. That is I may want to enable ad sense on some sites (like sourceforge) and disqus/facebook social on other.

  Hi Sharuu,
  
  thanks for using ghostery!
  
  You can accomplish what you described by using the site-selective whitelisting feature currently available in our Firefox version, on the way soon for the other browsers. In your example.. you would be able to allow AdSense on a site, while blocking it on others and allowing disqus/facebook on some and not others.
  
  Hope that helps!
