What privacy add-on you trust more - commercial Ghostery or EFF's PrivacyBadger?

Hi avast support forum users,

Ghostery now gone over onto open source. After Cliqz achieved it, I trusted it even less.

Maybe the open source analysis will bring back the trust to Ghostery’s?

In my browser I work Privacy Badger, also it is a bit harsh on the old cycles, but I trust EFF policies better.

What are your user opinions here?

Hi Pol, I agree. Cheers

I don’t use either.

A long time ago when I tried Ghostery it clashed with another add-on.

I believe uBlock Origin and uMatrix would help with this also. Firefox also has Privacy options, I never accept 3rd party cookies and temp cookies are removed when the browser is closed. I also use CookieMonster.

But, as has been said many times, don’t expect privacy on the internet, don’t post anything on the internet that you don’t want anyone to see/have/use. I have never signed up to any social networking site either.
