by Firefox user 15704522, 9 months agoYouTube has busted me on this several times. YouTube is the only reason I try to block ads - so, AdBlock Plus, try as I might, does not work for me.

posted 9 months agoHello,
Thanks for contacting Adblock Plus.
We are aware that YouTube is currently testing anti-adblock notifications for some users with ad blockers installed. We are looking for the best way to address this, however, Youtube is quick to find their way around our strategies. You may see a variety of different behaviors such as a temporary black screen or a very brief display of an ad. These are related to our efforts to prevent the anti-adblock wall from appearing for you.
Anti-adblock walls have long been an issue for all ad blockers, not just ours. While we do believe that content providers should have the right to decide how you interact with their page (or opt not to, if you choose not to continue to patronize them), we know YouTube's walls are particularly troubling to many of our users.
We are hoping to find a way to address this, but for now, our best option is to allow ads for the YouTube site. To temporarily disable ABP, just click on your ABP icon > tog the blue button to off (it will turn gray) > refresh the page.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gilligan, 4 hours agoThis used to be a great add-on, but now at least weekly if not every few days (I haven't kept track) it will randomly open a new tab (stealing my attention) bragging about what it has done and nagging at me to pay for a subscription. On top of that I am finding that I have to disable this add-on for more and more websites from glitches it causes. Websites that don't really even have ad's. Like the most recent one, eBay. I was having problems with eBay loading. And after resetting Firefox, I started disabling add-ons. After I disabled Adblock suddenly eBay loads perfectly, and even faster than it has in a long time. This add-on has passed it's time. It has become what it was designed to block.

Ironic, I know, but also spam.

Didn't work and I removed your stupid adblocking app.

However, in some cases we've found that your settings might have changed which is why ads are suddenly appearing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by essjay, 16 days agoI love Adblock Plus. I've used it for years now. The extension by itself is great, but it also allows for custom filtering rules by the user. If you're gonna pick just one, go with ABP.
