Ghostery, known primarily for its ad blocking browser extension, has had its own such browser (, ) for several years, and TechCrunch today it's gotten. This Firefox-based browser has a new look and some interesting new features for privacy-minded users. SEE: (Firefox on mobile used to have a reputation for sluggishness, but it's tightened up quite a bit.) For one, the new Ghostery browser has a feature called Ghost Search, which searches on the web as you type. The search results appear as cards, and you swipe to the left to see them. When we searched for 'football,' we were presented with the Wikipedia entry, a link to, and a card for, the official website for the National Football League. These results are powered by Cliqz, a German software company that acquired Ghostery in February 2017.

According to the announcement, searches use Cliqz's own index of websites, rather than that of Google or Bing, and it doesn't collect personally identifiable information (PII). If you don't want Ghost Mode, you can disable it in the app's settings. To access your settings in the Android version of the Ghostery browser, tap the three-dot menu in the upper right, then tap Settings toward the bottom of the menu. In the iOS version, tap the three dots at the right end of the address bar, then tap Settings at the bottom of your screen. FOLLOW for all the latest app news. Set up logitech headset microphone. If you conduct a search from within the address bar, you'll also be taken to DuckDuckGo by default, a search engine that claims not to record any PII.

You can change this to Google, Bing, Amazon, Twitter, or Wikipedia. Unlike regular Firefox (, ), there's isn't an option to manually add a different search engine. Ghostery also now has a feature called Start Tab.

With this, opening a new tab presents you with a compact feed of the latest headlines 'from respected and trustworthy media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Reuters, AP, BBC and The Guardian.' This tab also has subsections to access your browsing history and your bookmarks. Ghostery also points out features such as a password manager, image blocking, and stopping videos from autoplaying, but it should be noted that these are already built into the regular Firefox mobile browser. In fact, Ghostery's browser can also install Firefox add-ons, though not all of them are compatible with the mobile version. The takeaways. Ghostery, the maker of a popular ad blocking add-on for Firefox and Chrome, has relaunched its Firefox-based mobile browser with a new look and some new features. The biggest new feature is Ghost Search, which produces fast search results that don't rely on indexes from Google or Bing.
