In August 2016, Mozilla, developer of Firefox, made a minority investment in Cliqz. TLDR Cliqz is an advertising company, not privacy-oriented as they try to advertise (ironic) themselves as.Ĭliqz GmbH is a German company owned by Hubert Burda Media who has acquired the popular Ghostery brand and consumer products (.)Ī company that owns several papers, websites and even more tracking, advertising technologies and I'm supposed to trust them? They straight redirect you to a different page all together. I've opted out of all the data submission, the pop-up notifications, and set all sites to "restricted" by default in Ghostery, only allowing objects on sites that are required for functionality like the CBOX chat applet that runs on some sites.ĮDIT: the sites I am talking about aren't just ones with a banner popup or element that hides the page in the background. But the loading time difference is negligible and the convenience and added peace of mind works for me. Yes, I am sure I can uninstall Ghostery and tweak with uBlock for 30+ min for these sites each time I come across one to find the right connections to block.
On my other laptop with an i7-4810mq & 16GB RAM + Evo840 mSATA, no sites are slow to load. Besides, I'm running on a laptop with only a 4th gen i5, but with an Evo 870 & 8GB of RAM and the only sites slow to load are FB (which I rarely use). Something within Ghostery does it automatically. I've tried putting the "-" sign next to the connection in the advanced menu. I've tried the Element Zapper and Picker. ("Please disable your adblocker to view this site") I'm running most of the "Privacy", "Annoyances", "Anti-tracking", "Anti-Malware" etc. I promise you, there are sites that you cannot access with just uBlock alone without disabling it.
