Why I use #Ghostery as my browser on my iPhone: one image is The Onion in Safari. Mostly ads. Can’t even see one word of content. One (Mostly white space) is Safari with “Better” ad blocker. The last, usable one, is Ghostery. Life is better without ads.
View of the onion with ads taking over the whole page. Safari alone.

Data is the nuclear waste of the web, @Ghostery CEO Jean-Paul Schmetz says. Big tech is redefining privacy to suit their business and cut out their competitors ... not to actually deliver privacy ... YouTube youtu.be/0jKmfPkW5bU Podcast anchor.fm/techfirst/episodes…

We love DDG, have been recommending it for years, and it’s one reason we created Glow, our private search engine - the world needs more diversity in private search engines. ghostery.com/glow xitter.cf/DuckDuckGo/status/1526…

We ❤️ #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver and seems he loves us too, recommending @Ghostery, along with @Brave, @Firefox, @DuckDuckGo as tools to protect your online privacy & take action against being profiled and sold as a product by data brokers. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=wqn3gR1W…

A few hundred pages of internal Google docs just posted from discovery in a privacy lawsuit. some serious self-reflection clearly happening the last few years. For example, read this section. /1

I've been testing some @Firefox (#Firefox is l🧡ve) forks/mods and so far regarding to privacy added features I like @Ghostery Dawn for regular browsing and (obviously) @TorProject Browser for onion network browsing

An interesting feature, .. @Ghostery now shows the number of trackers the page you might visit will have (on Google SERP) It is cool to add this visibility to search results because you can weigh in this info on your decision where to click.

It is fantastic to see Safari team reaching out to community on Twitter. A brave move in a right direction. Perhaps Apple is finally ready for public feedback channels. Safari definitely deserve one!
Jen Simmons@jensimmons8 Feb 2022
Everyone in my mentions saying Safari is the worst, it’s the new IE… Can you point to specific bugs & missing support that frustrate you, inhibit you making websites/apps. Bonus points for links to tickets. Specifics we can fix. Vague hate is honestly super counterproductive.
