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!

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--

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) (y)

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 :unsure: (might stick with AdGuard Lifetime)

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
