@carlos-rss: Precisely my findings as well. I have also used Ghostery for years. Today I switched to uBLock Origin which provides more control as Ghostery 8.12.6 used to.

@skarimdeus It's an issue with the new version of Opera... It will probably be fixed eventually... In the meantime you can use this workaround:
Enable Developer mode in Extensions
Look for the extension ID in the extension info... Looks like bbkekonodcdmedgffkkbgmnnekbainbg or something similar...
Click on "Load unpacked"
Navigate to where the extension is stored in the profile: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Next\Default\Extensions[Extension ID]\That will install the current version of the extension in Developer mode, without security checks... The security checks is what is probably broken in the recent version of Opera since it fails to generate hashes in the extension's metadata folder... The extension won't autoupdate, but at least it will work while we wait for the fix...

@eliotcougar Thanks a lot Buddy ! that worked like a charm ! Can't live without this extension since it seems it's the only one that makes YouTube a livable place to navigate.

Do I need to have Operas own Privacy Protection on when using Ghostery, or would it be better to have it off?

@maltepruser whether it's on or off it's useless especially when using YouTube...because you will be defenceless and you will be invaded with a lot of shitty ads in YT
Ghostery till now is the only extension that does the job perfectly (even uBlock origin was useless against the new algorithm of YT that forces us to watch them shitty ads)
So make sure that Ghostery is always on ... That's the most important thing IMHO

@maltepruser Ghostery is a standalone privacy protection tool and doesn't rely on Opera's Privacy Protection features. The setup remains your decision.
What we advise to do additionally to installing Ghostery is giving permissions to Ghostery extension to block ads and trackers on search engine result pages. This simple guide shows how:

ни фига не работает
Hi there, can you tell us if your situation is similar to the one described here?
https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/1550
If so, can I ask you to check on your side whether uninstalling and installing the extension helps in this case?Thank you very much!

@eliotcougar said in Ghostery:
After the last update the extension is unusable primarily because the detailed settings are no longer available... There are many sites that don't work if one of the trackers is blocked, and you have to be able to allow only that specific tracker to run on that specific site... Now you cannot allow/block specific trackers on specific sites anymore... I also would like to allow Google's trackers and ads everywhere, but again that is no longer configurable...
Hi there,
the awaited feature for power users offering the ability to block or trust individual trackers is alive in the latest version of Ghostery. Please update! We thought you might want to know.
Best,

cst179d last edited byAboslutely essential!! I cannot imagine the web without Ghostery!! Still, version 10 has it's problems with blocking trackers and I recoomend older version 8, which can be found on Chrome Store.

@ghosterysupport No I have not reached an incorrect conclusion as I have been using a computer for many years, what a bizzare and frankly quite rude way to respond to people when you have clearly and obviously ruined your extension for the opera browser.

We did not mean to be rude nor sound bizzare in our response, we were just stating technical details on what we assumed you were mentioning in your feedback (cookies) and their development over the years.
