User reviews

A while ago I installed the ghostery extension which does something similar. But didn't really use the ghostery ad blocker, mostly because I've found a tool specifically for blocking ads which I think works better. In terms of just knowing who is tracking you and why you are being tracked while on the internet ...this is the tool to use. The WebAware extension does a great job of actually explaining what's going on and there is a graph you can understand without straining your eyes or wasting a lot of time. Very happy. Thank you.
