Free Ghostery Alternative
A Better Ghostery Alternative — Privacy + Productivity in One
OneBuddy matches Ghostery's tracker blocking and ad blocking, then goes further with productivity tools, health reminders, screen capture, encrypted messaging, and privacy blur — all completely free, no premium tier required.
What is Ghostery?
Ghostery is a privacy-focused browser extension that blocks trackers, ads, and provides a privacy dashboard showing which companies track you across the web. While Ghostery excels at privacy visualization, its free tier has limitations, and it focuses exclusively on tracking prevention — it doesn't include productivity or wellness features.
