Unable to change Privacy protection settings #1641

Closed hyebahi closed 2 weeks ago

hyebahi commented 2 weeks ago

After the new update, the toggle buttons in the privacy settings are disabled and cannot be changed. Google Chrome 125.0.6422.141 Mac OS

Is this the intended behavior?

Thank you

Hi @hyebahi - thank you for reporting the issue. This is in fact an expected behaviour that we introduce to help a group of users that was fiddling with Ghostery setting, not realising the with ad-blocking disabled their privacy is at risk. That said, with this update we have already heard from many other users that they expect more control. We hear you and are in process of finding a solution that would be most usable for all user groups. Stay tuned for the updates.

Feedback like yours is very important now that we rollout new version of Ghostery. Thank you for being a voice of Ghostery Community!
