by Firefox user 15704522, 7 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 7 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 Drone Pilot, 12 days agoThe constant pop ups asking for premium membership on a daily basis, often taking the focus RIGHT when i am in the middle of filling up a form on another tab, make this add-on useless now. And it even doesn't block YouTube ads any more, while uBlock Origin does it perfectly still. UNINSTALLING!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18734675, 12 days agoThis used to be a great ad-on, but the constant pop ups asking for premium membership on a daily basis - and sometimes two in a row - is super annoying. Either make it a paid service, or make it free. I'm moving to the Ublock extension instead.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Meredith, 12 days agoPretty damn useless. The page refresh is disabled unless they get money. Waste of space.....

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pedalwench, 14 days agoNo longer blocks Youtube. Same experience as many others. Used to have to "skip" ads but now all the ads play. BUMMER. And I just upped my donation to AdPlus! I went through and cleared my cache just as recommended. NO change in Youtube ads.
