While you browse the web, keep your Ghostery-grade protection on. Ghostery Private Browser offers an advanced privacy setting, HTTPS-Only Mode. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the most fundamental protocol used to communicate between websites and browsers. Unfortunately, it is often unprotected and vulnerable to unwanted surveillance and manipulation. HTTPS-Only Mode makes sure that all communications with Ghostery Browsers are made using HTTP over TLS (HTTPS), which is a secure and encrypted method of communication that is much safer.
Description
JSK Shield is a free and open-source tool designed to block ads and trackers on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and is distributed under the GPL-3.0 license. It effectively eliminates ads, tracking scripts, and bothersome consent banners by utilizing EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and cookie-notice filters, functioning immediately upon installation without the need for an account or any setup.
Unlike many other ad blockers that require users to place their trust in them, JSK Shield provides transparency by allowing users to verify its functionality. Operating entirely on the user’s device, it ensures that there is no data collection or telemetry, and it does not include a paid allowlist, meaning advertisers cannot pay to bypass its protections.
What sets JSK Shield apart is its approach to breakage; while other blockers simply display a number of blocked requests, JSK Shield provides detailed information about the blocked request, including the specific filter rule that applied and its source list, enabling users to allow that request on a particular site with just one click. Additionally, when a webpage encounters issues due to blocking, JSK Shield offers guided recovery options that prioritize the least disruptive solutions first, enhancing user experience while maintaining robust ad and tracker blocking.
