Ghostery addon: the best alternatives
With the browser addon Ghostery you can easily block scripts and trackers of websites. In addition to ghostery, there are several alternatives. We have collected the best of them for you here.
Ghostery Alternative NoScript
The browser add-on NoScript is a very good alternative to Ghostery.
- It is also free and protects against annoying and dangerous scripts.
- You can allow individual scripts or generally classify websites as trustworthy.
- NoScript also protects against clickjacking attacks. In the process, invisible buttons are placed over areas of the website. If you click on this area, the action of the button is carried out.
The Tor browser package as a ghostery alternative
Ghostery blocks many trackers so you can enjoy more anonymity on the web. This is also possible with the Tor browser package.
- This is not just an add-on, but a modified version of the Firefox browser.
- Your complete surfing behavior is directed through the anonymization network Tor, so that the websites cannot determine who you are.
- Unfortunately, surfing becomes a bit slower.
Alternative to ghostery: QuickJava
The browser add-on QuickJava blocks various content from websites on request.
- Blocking of Java, Javascript, Flash, Silverlight or images integrated on the website is supported.
- QuickJava integrates as a toolbar in the browser. There you can easily block the desired content type at the push of a button.
- You can download the addon free of charge in our download area.
