Humble Bundle Filters Chrome release and Firefox updates: An extension to mark games on the Humble Bundle/Store sites based on Steam ownership or wishlist status (and also platform filtering)
I also updated both versions with a new method of getting Steam library data: having an active login to the Steam store website on the same browser. This method allowed me to get data about owned DLC, which no other method seems to be able to do. If you're worried about the security, it's the same method that is used by the SteamDB browser extension, and my extension is open-source as well. There is also an alternative method using a Steam API key and a steamID.

Here's the code.

SteamDB extension requires new premissions
It is possible to validate the code in published extensions against github diffs because they're published as-is, without any bundlers and whatnot. Here's a diff for the version that updated the permission. (Chrome version is zipped from manifest-v3 branch though).

Impresia noastră despre cei 15 ani de Android
Am instalat si eu extensia Ghostery si dupa ceva cautari in lista de domenii blocate din pihole am dat de discutia de mai jos in link (communities like the Firefox subreddit seem to believe (rather zealously) that Ghostery is closed source and sells their users browser history to ad companies.)

How do i stop the "never consent" Popups?
If you have ideas in how we can improve, best leave a comment on https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/908 or open a new ticket. We did already change the UI a bit based on the feedback that we got so far. If there is more that we can do, please let us know. :-)

reddit gives me blank white page
There's some more details here and here. There are some mentions of Chrome so presumably not an issue with the recent FF update. Basically it seems Ghostery needed to push out an update to fix its filters bc it was blocking Reddit as a tracker by default.
- Ghostery is blocking Reddit completely on Firefox...

Can you disable the tracker wheel in search results?

Goodbye Brave
Disclaimer: I work for Ghostery. I respond to protect my own name, not my employer.
Ghostery is not selling user data.
Let me point out a few facts:
All browser-side code is open source https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension and https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-dnr-extension.
Yes, Ghostery has a subscription based business model and that another reason to great care in protecting users privacy. Take a look on how we use blind tokens to authenticate subscribed users while searching on glowstery.com https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-search-extension (notice that even when you are a subscribed user there is no session cookie so queries cannot be linked).
Hope this sheds some light on the accusation. If that’s not enough, I do sincerely recommend uBlock Origin or AdGuard on Apple’s platform.

ublock Origin + Ghostery on firefox addon on android and Mac Os = good combo or to avoid and why ?
1) Ghostery has been open-source for a few years a now. 2) The software used to be owned by Evidon. After 2017, it has been owned, open-sourced, and maintained by privacy-focus devs. Ghostery does not sell data.
