AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock

4.3 Stars out of 5

Review by Faust

It’s quite ironic that an ad blocker designed to eliminate unwanted commercial spam ends up opening its own unwanted commercial spam. I understand the need to monetize, but opening a new tab to push a subscription offer feels intrusive. Most people are already overwhelmed with numerous subscriptions and don’t want to add another. This approach undermines the very purpose of using an ad blocker in the first place.

Rethink your marketing efforts, AdBlock. Do better.
