Ghost for Chrome is a handy browser add-on designed to provide you with detailed information about the trackers embedded in the website you are visiting. You can use it to find out which companies are recording your habits and block certain trackers.

View data about trackers

Every time you open a website in your browser, chances are that at least one company will receive information about your browsing habits. This information is later used to serve you targeted advertising based on the pages you frequently visit.

If you want to prevent this, you need to use a special program to block tracking tools embedded in websites. The Ghostery extension is one of the tools available when you browse the Internet with Chrome.

Show activity tracker

Once installed, a notification will appear in the upper right corner letting you know which trackers are active on the current page. By clicking the address bar button, you can choose to block some of them or whitelist them for the entire domain.

You can also whitelist your entire website if you don’t mind being tracked when you visit these pages. When you want to remove a domain from the whitelist, you can do so from the popup or the options tab.

Notification settings

Additional customization preferences allow you to change the notification location and activate GhostRank in order to contribute to the list of detected trackers. Most of these options can be configured in the wizard displayed when the plugin is installed.

Overall, Ghostery is a useful tool that allows you to detect and disable over a thousand trackers with just a few clicks. It allows you to globally specify blocked trackers per domain, making it available to all user categories.
