[Lemon60]

Finally, i got e-mail from Ghostery for Midnight Beta.

Everyone can see my review above. Also im gonna contact Ghostery for DNS errors. This issue so annoying.

Is it similar to Adguard desktop?

Actually yes. But Midnight have VPN advantage.

This will be free? or pay for features o pay to use? look interesting

Looks good, the VPN looks somewhat limited, & the privacy policy from 'Mail Chimp' (the marketing company) to me as it contains a VPN (and if it didn't) is a certain no-no with huge great bells on - As I have lifetime licence for AdGuard & just bought IVPN little point giving it a try but thank you!

Privacy

Is this preparation for a possible market left by the void of Chrome's dystopian adblocking future?

For now, free for beta users.

Good review and screen shots @matrixlord.

I think it was @Lenny_Linux -- working on a project for school... his posts on the study of ad-blocking indirectly got me interested in the beta for Ghostery Midnight.

Here is what it is--

Ghostery Subscription & Product Update - Ghostery

Hello Ghosterians, We are pleased to announce that on May 26th, Ghostery will be offering all our paid features for a single subscription tier, Ghostery Plus, at $4.99*/mo. ($3.99/mo. for annual plans). That means that you can get even more privacy features for one low price. Better yet...

I like the comprehensive approach. And Lenny_Lunux (correct me if I'm remembering this incorrectly) posted information from his academic study indicating that the method of Ghostery could be more effective than other ad-blocking methods --- in some circumstances.

So this is one I'll be watching.

The implementation of Manifest 3 by Google might trigger some companies to innovate their software and re-think their value proposition. For power users this Manifest 3 looked like a threat, but it might change for the better (AdGuard, Ghostery, Edge-Chromium, Opera, Brave responses to Manifest 3)

Does it requires HTTPS interception like Adguard or it works at the DNS level?

This is most probably true, and it may very well mean these Chromium forks will strive to differentiate themselves from each other as well as from Google.

I don't know whats that mean . But if important, i can ask to Ghostery.

I've just had an email from Ghostery regarding Midnight Premium & offered it to me at £8 UK Pounds per month - £96 per year ($125) reduced from normal cost of 14 UK pounds again per month (£168) yearly though the price will never increase - Very good of them lol (might stick with AdGuard Lifetime)

Ouch. Maybe I'll stick with Adguard too

Why should anyone trust them after the privacy leaks in past? It's the same with the similar WoT (from another company) add-on.
Personally I wouldn't trust any products from that company's.

Just my 5c

I've used Ghostery for years now. Always thought it was a great idea/tool.

I havent heard about the business's shady practices tho.
