What is Ghostery Private Browser?

Smart-Browsing enhances the speed and efficiency of webpage loading automatically as you navigate online. Ghostery effectively blocks various trackers, which accelerates page loads and reduces clutter on websites. The anti-tracking feature anonymizes user data, offering an additional layer of privacy protection. As you explore the internet, Ghostery's robust protection ensures your safety from potential threats. To maximize your security, keep your Ghostery-grade protection activated while browsing. Ghostery's Private Browser provides an advanced privacy feature known as HTTPS-Only Mode. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) serves as the foundational method for communication between web browsers and sites. Unfortunately, HTTP can be exposed to unwanted surveillance and interference, making it less secure. HTTPS-Only Mode guarantees that all interactions with Ghostery Browsers utilize HTTP over TLS (HTTPS), a secure and encrypted communication method that significantly enhances safety and privacy while online. This additional safeguard ensures that your digital footprint remains protected as you surf the web.

What is Ad And Stuff Blocker?

Ad And Stuff Blocker (AASB) functions as a content filter specifically tailored for Safari on Mac OSX and iOS, with the goal of providing a seamless user experience right from installation. It features a minimalist interface that avoids complex statistics and unnecessary design elements, concentrating instead on a whitelist for sites that users are not likely to visit frequently. The functionality of AASB remains uniform between iOS and Mac, ensuring users enjoy a consistent experience. On the other hand, the Ad And Stuff VPN Content Filter (AASVPN) is designed for Android users, leveraging VPN technology to potentially eliminate ads and adult content across all applications, not just web browsers. This application can be thought of as a customized hosts file for Android, adeptly controlling network requests by intercepting DNS queries that transform user-friendly names into numeric IP addresses. If a queried domain is found in the hosts database, the application responds with an Unknown reply to the original requester; otherwise, it forwards the query to the DNS server, which defaults to OpenDNS but can be adjusted based on user settings. Together, AASB and AASVPN seek to enrich the browsing experience by reducing the clutter of unwanted content across multiple devices and platforms, thus enabling users to navigate the internet more freely. Their complementary functionalities highlight an increasing demand for streamlined and ad-free digital environments.
