by Fred, 2 years agoIt worked with private browsing before, thus making us deactivate it is NO solution. Users who use private browsing have theyr reason and will not deactivate it thus just switch to an adblocker who is not forcing them to turn it off!
Used it for years but since I went onto Kubuntu 22.04 (which maybe just a coincidence) it does not remember any filter list anymore. Not my own, not the language filter lists nor the filter lists that came with ABP. I select the filter lists, I make own filter lists and as soon as the browser is being restarted everything is gone! And there I was wondering why ads are not being blocked. (FF 100.0.2, 64-bit, Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002-1.0)
I have also tested the suggestion about the FF privacy settings who are mentioned below in German. It makes no difference. No ads are blocked, no filters being remembered. This time when I reinstalled ABP the filters where active from the start, after I restarted FF all filters where gone again including the one filter I have created by myself for testing purposes. Also those filters didnt take even when they where active and ads where shown everywhere I went.
Then I have tried another adblock addon and with that blocking works again so it is definetly ABP.

posted 2 years agoHi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! 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

- Rated 1 out of 5by ICON, 12 hours agoTried it to beat ads on YouTube. Works about 15% of the time. YouTube ads are now almost 2 minutes at times. Very annoying. Will keep searching. Meanwhile, I watch Rumble.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16380553, 3 days agoStops some sites working by making pop ups appear (eg: nosloq.com works when adblock disabled, but fails when enabled), lots of websites have pop-ups it is no longer stopping and you cannot even "select element" to manually block them now".
It's better than nothing, but it is time to find something better - I think they are chasing money now, rather than providing awesome service. Both is ok, but I think they have the balance wrong now. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15907692, 3 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Powerack, 3 days agoZ užitečného doplňku se během let stala pračka na peníze neustále somrující o příspěvky.
Když ale nedělá svou práci pořádně a samotný doplněk obsahuje reklamy, ptám se: Proč bych platil za používání doplňku, který nedělá pořádně svou práci a který sám záměrně neblokuje určité reklamy na určitých webech?
Pokud vývojáři nedovedou nic lepšího, než po každém updatu žebrat o příspěvek, a pokud musím po každém updatu ručně nastavovat, aby nezobrazoval žádné reklamy (ve výchozím nastavení jsou totiž povoleny "nerušivé reklamy"), nemá smysl takový doplněk vůbec používat. Vážně. Stáhněte si něco jiného, tohle je odpad. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12320607, 4 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16856936, 5 days agoABP has become as bad as the ads it blocks. I allow it to auto-update, and the result is always an ABP ad begging for money. Don't these people realize I am busy doing something to force the ad on me? Plus it doesn't keep track of whether I paid them anything. Today I installed it on a new PC, and it FORCED ME to pay $5 (which it said I can a refund, but don't see how to do that; it IS probably worth $5). I see now when I click the ABP icon, I get a small ad at the bottom of that window. It's disgusting. ABP's obnoxious ads will keep me from ever paying them money again -- unless of course they force the issue on yet another new PC someday. I like the ads-blocking, but I hate the constant, obnoxious begging for money. Also, I'm not going to bother researching it, but I am an American, but the charge ($5) was international (I got a credit-card warning). Also, for some reason, it gave me PREMIUM for a while: I don't want it. I turned off the features that seemed linked to PREMIUM.
