- Rated 2 out of 5by titan_sage, 2 years agoWhen ext. first came out it worked perfectly with no issues, then shortly after they became quite popular, and slowly started accepting bribes to take companies off the blacklists. Started slow and progressively got worse.
Ditched this for uBlock Origin (works fantastic) very light on ram usage too. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17851210, 2 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by SadFirefoxUser, 2 years agoNot easy to use; lacks essential features. For instance: when turned on it lets you block specific elements on a page but does not let you UNblock specific elements on a page. The app tells you that X number of elements are blocked but does not list them nor provide any way to see them to allow you to unblock them. This means the only way to see them is to disable AdBlock altogether on a given page, but then you cannot block specific elements anymore. There is supposedly a workaround involving developer tools but this is an extremely confusing rabbit hole that the uninitiated should not dare enter. It did not work for me and I only ended up getting even more frustrated. Even as a paying premium user I cannot solve this problem. I hope they fix this soon and give us the essential functionality of easily unblocking individual blocked elements on a page.

no longer the best FREE adblocker on the web, if you really want money go back to donating
an adblocker shouldnt make you pay for it, an adblocker should be fast and freeDeveloper response

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17459562, 2 years agoThis isnt worth anymore imo and it sucks because I have used this for... had to be like 10 years easy now. Which is why I am giving it the 2 star.
Google images literally 80% ads and it has never been this way. Its never worked on twitch (recommend a vpn for that anyway) and the block element no longer works (could just be me)
Also "upgrade"...lul.

ABP Support Team - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12825085, 2 years agoIt is NOT block ads as promised. There is a giant FULL PAGE ad on Yahoo.com. Is this what you call an "acceptable" ad?! Also, annoying ads showing up in my email. Also, "report issue" function is not working. Will not allow me to report issue.

ABP Support Team - Rated 2 out of 5by Korwin, 2 years agoДо появления "премиума" традиционно пользователя именно этим блокировщиком. Однако, введение назойливого доната, наконец, склонило в пользу использования FOS-решения.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Maxwell, 2 years agoDoesn't block Youtube ads. Otherwise it's good, but got is specifically for YT ads.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Brian Salomon, 2 years agoThis used to block most or all ads. Regardless of filter lists (or any) configuration, it allows ads now. I will not pay for this.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15345279, 3 years agoLet's do a quick round what promises:
✓ Block annoying ads and popups - Allows static images "safe ads", redirection to landing pages and so on.
✓ Block video ads on sites like YouTube - NOT ANYMORE
✓ Speed-up loading time on pages - Using more filters just ads to load time and RAM usage.
✓ Reduce risk of "malvertising" infections - Yes
✓ Protect your privacy by stopping trackers from following your online activity - Sort of, with "Allow safe ads" - and is always active as a predetermined option - third party ads DO track you
✓ Block social media icons tracking - Same as above
So yeah, do not recommend anymore.
Used to be my blocker but now is just more of the same "we take a cut from advertisment networks". - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17493779, 3 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14406929, 3 years agoWhen I turn it off for a page or site it tells you to refresh the page for changes to take effect, when you refresh it turns back on no matter how many times you try. Pain in the a. Plus when you click the "report an issue" button it just brings you here to the reviews page.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14978009, 3 years agoHave been using this for years, but today -- for the first time ever -- am starting to see the beginning of ads on YouTube before they get cut off. This never used to happen. Is YouTube's team finding a workaround, or is ADP losing its mojo?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Gabriel Satler, 3 years agoUnfortunately, ads continue to appear on Youtube.
Infelizmente, cointinua aparecendo anuncios no Youtube - Rated 2 out of 5by J Sparrow, 3 years agoWhile this is a brilliant app, the latest update 3.14 for firefox has just gone wrong. It's not blocking much and cannot right click and block on others. Please fix... Thanks
- Rated 2 out of 5by hovis, 3 years agoNi me bloquea los anuncios de facebook ni los de watch y no me bloquea ningún aviso de cookies .

posted 3 years agoHi there!
You experiencing issues since the update? ie: filters not being saved? After some research we found that after the update users saw "always use private browsing mode" enabled in FF. Disabling this allows ABP to run as normal. To do this, click the settings menu icon in the right corner of the browser > settings >privacy & security > scroll down to the history section > choose "Use custom settings for history" from the drop down menu > uncheck "always use private browsing mode". If you need more assistance please contact us via support@adblockplus.org.
Thanks
