What is Shasper?
Shasper is an open-source, customizable alternative to the popular Ghostery browser extension. Like Ghostery, Shasper blocks trackers, ads, and other unwanted content to protect your privacy and provide a cleaner browsing experience.
Some key features of Shasper include:
- Open-source code that is transparent, auditable, and modifiable
- Granular control over what gets blocked, including trackers, ads, widgets, etc.
- Ability to whitelist sites so tracking scripts can run if desired
- Settings to block content globally or on a site-by-site basis
- Available as an extension for major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari
While Ghostery is easy to use out of the box, Shasper appeals to more advanced users who want more customization options to tightly control what gets blocked during browsing sessions. Its open-source nature also appeals to privacy-focused users wary of closed-source alternatives.
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Bitrix24, Viva Engage (Yammer), PrivMX Fusion, Zoho Cliq, Workplace from Meta, eXo Platform, Ripcord, Threads for Teams, Ziggs, Socialcast are some alternatives to Shasper.
