AdGuard & Ghostery

[Cortex]

Hope this isn't in the wrong section if it is I'm sorry, I usually just reply to threads.

I have AdGuard that I acquired with a free key on here a few days ago & are very pleased with it, when the licence runs out I will most certainly renew it. My question is I have the 'Ghostery Chrome Extension' installed. As I've enabled most options on AdGuard (some seem to mimic Ghostery) apart from 'Stealth mode' do I really need Ghostery as well? I don't want to be doubling up on browser protection. The rest of the system is pretty secure. Thanks in advance. Paul

I agree, I would just uninstall Ghostery.

Ghostery isn't needed if you have Adguard installed.

I have adguard extension alongside with disconect.
Both are working well together and disconect block some extra stuff

What's the difference in just adding the Disconnect filters to AdGuard and using Disconnect as a separate extension?

Does it block more stuff?

I don't know
I haven't tried to add Disconnect Filters to Adguard because i am lazy.
I just added the extension to see if it will slow down my browsing.
So far it's working good, Disconnect blocks more requests of Facebook, Google and Twitter and pages are loading a little faster.

Ghostery is just an other overglorified overmarketed adblocker with one filter.
