- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15208646, 6 years agoAdblock is not what it once was. Every Important site makes me turn this feature off and when i turn it off it still thinks its on. this is my fifth time that im installing it this month. I think i don't need to block ads i need to turn off all these 2012 extensions they are not getting better and the websites are. its time to change the formula. i mean who cares how many adds it blocked good grief thats not a feature why not focus on the websites that say you have ad blocker on you cant come in. lets work on that instead of asking us to donate . sorry kid ad blocker asked first, yes i have a dollar but you dont take paypal. just follow a fat man around they drop vegetables

posted 6 years agoHi, Thanks for taking the time to provide your thoughts. While it is technically possible to block anti-adblock notices we chose not to take that route.

posted 6 years agoHi there, thanks for asking about this feature. This is definitely available on Firefox but it will need to be enabled from the AdBlock Settings page.

posted 6 years agoThank you for reporting this! It appears that Firefox recently experienced an issue related to extensions. This affected all extensions, not just AdBlock. A fix has been rolled out with the latest release of Firefox, so as long as you're using the latest version, you should be all set now. Here's some more information about what happened: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi! That definitely should not be the case; you should not continue to see pop-ups with AdBlock installed. We have some troubleshooting tips for unblocked ads here: https://help.getadblock.com/solution/articles/6000061202-seeing-unblocked-ads-start-here-
If they don't help, feel free to open a ticket at help.getadblock.com. Please include AdBlock's debug information, a link to a page where you're seeing ads, and a screenshot of the ads (https://help.getadblock.com/solution/articles/6000087856-how-do-i-give-you-debugging-information-). We'd love to help get this sorted out for you. Thanks!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Oberdan Daniel, 6 years agoNão está funcionando tão bem mais! Sites como Twitch toda hora passa propaganda durante a reprodução. Somente propagandas externas ainda não são exibidas.
agora, até o no youtube está passando as propagandas antes dos videos.
Não há razão mais pra usar!!Developer response

AdBlock Community Manager- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13602447, 7 years agoThis is a really poor app. A lot of the on screen prompt instructions are very technical and I have no idea what they mean. And perhaps the most idiotic: There a feature to 'block a particular ad on a site'. I've used it and it works pretty well. But it's only a visible option when the page or site is already blocked. So why block an ad when all ads on the page or site are already blocked? Makes no sense.
So, to carry that further, I'm thinking I'll unblock the site but selectively block ads on the site. But once I unblock the site or page, the option to block a specific ad is no longer available.
Very poorly designed, poorly thought-out app. I'll try some others. They may be just as convoluted, but I'll try.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi, and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We have a feature called "Block an ad on this page." It's available at all times when AdBlock is running, whether or not any ads on the page are being blocked or there are any ads at all. It can be used to hide things other than ads. Obviously, it can't be available when the extension is paused or the page or site is whitelisted, because AdBlock isn't running then.
However, you can also use AdBlock to exclude specific filters to see ads that have been blocked or hidden. That would allow you to selectively block ads on the page. We have more information here:

* https://help.getadblock.com/solution/articles/6000087883-how-can-i-see-what-adblock-is-blocking-or-hiding-
You're absolutely right about the on-screen help text being less than helpful. That's one of the things we're planning to improve in an upcoming release.
You're always welcome to open a ticket on our support site, https://help.getadblock.com, for help with how to use AdBlock. We want to make it as useful for you as possible. :)

- Rhana, AdBlock Community Manager - Rated 2 out of 5by Maja Potega, 7 years agoEs könnte ein sehr gutes Add-on sein, wenn es nicht den Browser total langsam machen würde.
So wie es jetzt läuft, kann ich es nicht weiterempfehlen und werde es wieder löschen. Schade! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13428146, 7 years ago
