Ghostery is a privacy-focused software publisher best known for its tracker-blocking technology, and through its GitHub presence it now offers the Ghostery Private Browser, a lightweight Firefox derivative engineered to minimize data leakage and maximize user anonymity. By stripping out telemetry, integrating aggressive anti-tracking filters, and pre-loading the Ghostery extension, the browser targets users who want mainstream web compatibility without the background surveillance common to conventional clients. Typical use cases include anonymous research, ad-free media consumption, multi-account social management, and secure e-commerce on public networks, all performed with reduced fingerprintability and faster page loads as third-party requests are neutralized before they connect. The codebase remains close to Mozilla’s Extended Support Release, ensuring familiar add-on support and enterprise-grade HTML5 compliance while hardening settings around cookies, referrers, and automated connections. Privacy auditors, journalists, and GDPR-conscious organizations therefore gain a ready-to-use desktop tool that balances everyday functionality with stringent data protection. Ghostery Private Browser is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest build and permitting batch deployment alongside other applications.
The Ghostery Desktop Browser is a minimal fork of Firefox optimised for privacy.
