Filtering Mode

Full protection by default, or block on demand

What it does

Two protection philosophies, your call. Ghostery Mode protects every site automatically. Zap Mode keeps protection off until you activate it on a page.

Same trackers blocked when you ask. Different default for who's asking.

How it works

Ghostery Mode is the default and what most people want. Zap Mode is for people who'd rather opt in per site. Switch between them at any time without losing your other settings.

What you get

  • Ghostery Mode: maximum protection with zero setup
  • Zap Mode: hands-on control, blocking only where you ask
  • Switch any time — your settings carry over
  • Pick what fits how you browse

Turn it on

Find it under: My Ghostery → Filtering Mode.
