Hi,

You are probably referring to our Acceptable Ads program.

In this program, websites are permited to show certain ads on the page. However, those ads have to be produced according to a series of criterias (ie. not animated, non-intrusive, cannot block content, etc). Websites have to apply join the program and are judged by a committee. This ensures that all pages follow the criteria established.

User can chose to opt-out from seeing Acceptable Ads at any time in their ABP settings.

Hi,

Thank you for your review.


Although we have now introduced a Premium version, our free standard version should block ads just as well as the Premium. The upgrade only offers more customization and additional features, but the ad blocking remains completely free.

You can read more about our Premium version here: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/articles/7981157227667-All-about-Adblock-Plus-Premium

We will be happy to help!

Hi,

Thank you for your review and feedback.

You are welcome to use the free filter list, which is why we offer it for users who prefer not to upgrade to Premium. However, this list is not mantained by us.

Our Premium cookie filter list is proprietary so we are able to make constant improvements to it. For our free filter list where we rely on a volunteer filter list author to keep it updated.

Hi,

I am not sure what you mean by "forces companies to pay for Acceptable Ads."

In this program, websites indeed are permited to show certain ads on the page. However, those ads have to be produced according to a series of criterias (ie. not animated, non-intrusive, cannot block content, etc). Websites have to apply join the program and are judged by a committee. This ensures that all pages follow the criteria established.

User can choose to opt-out from seeing Acceptable Ads at any time in their ABP settings.

Muchas gracias!

Happy to hear this!

Hello,

YouTube's anti-adblock wall should no longer appear with the ABP desktop extension installed in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. 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 stop ads from appearing for you.

If you are still seeing the anti-adblock notification, make sure there isn't a different extension or other software triggering the notification to appear. If something else is not triggering the wall, we recommend the following steps in this order:
1 - Sign out of YouTube.
2 - Clear your browser's cache:.
3 - Sign back into YouTube.


If you continue to see the wall after trying those steps, please contact us at support@adblockplus.org. We will be happy to look into it!

Hi,

Some websites have an anti ad blocking wall in place, which requires users to disable their ad blockers to access the page.

Websites are in their right to request this, though we believe it is an extremely intrusive practice. We cannot legally stop it but we are constantly exploring legal ways to combat this.
