What are you missing specifically? I’ve been pretty happy with Ghostery and AdGuard Pro.


I've been using AdGuard Pro happily on all my devices for about ten years now. I'm wondering what adding Ghostery to the mix does on Safari?


Ghostery doesn’t just hide consent banners and blocks tracking cookies, it also automatically opts-out from tracking consent.

Ghostery is the thing you want to block in the first place.

I see tracking consent opt-outs as pointless and misleading at best because the adtech industry doesn't operate in good faith. Just block them.


What trackers actually obey said consent?


In the EU, they are legally obliged to do so.


Well, for starters ublock origin is the gold standard, and it's free, and it's open source, and it's been refined over many years, and etc. etc. etc.
