by SadFirefoxUser, 2 years agoNot easy to use; lacks essential features. For instance: when turned on it lets you block specific elements on a page but does not let you UNblock specific elements on a page. The app tells you that X number of elements are blocked but does not list them nor provide any way to see them to allow you to unblock them. This means the only way to see them is to disable AdBlock altogether on a given page, but then you cannot block specific elements anymore. There is supposedly a workaround involving developer tools but this is an extremely confusing rabbit hole that the uninitiated should not dare enter. It did not work for me and I only ended up getting even more frustrated. Even as a paying premium user I cannot solve this problem. I hope they fix this soon and give us the essential functionality of easily unblocking individual blocked elements on a page.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gilligan, 19 hours agoThis used to be a great add-on, but now at least weekly if not every few days (I haven't kept track) it will randomly open a new tab (stealing my attention) nagging at me to pay for a subscription. On top of that I am finding that I have to disable this add-on for more and more websites from glitches it causes. Websites that don't really even have ad's. Like the most recent one, eBay. I was having problems with eBay loading. And after resetting Firefox, I started disabling add-ons. After I disabled Adblock suddenly eBay loads perfectly, and even faster than it has in a long time. Yes I tried reinstalling it, then I have the same problems again. This add-on has passed it's time. It has become what it was designed to block.
Edit: After using my browser without adblock for a few hours, every site is noticeably faster. Interesting, there was a time when adblock would speed things up... Evidently that has changed. Other reviews have a response about how you initiate that popup when there is an update. Perhaps limit how many times that can pop-up because it happened far more than once a month. - Rated 5 out of 5by zsyzsykk, a day ago

Ironic, I know, but also spam.

Didn't work and I removed your stupid adblocking app.

However, in some cases we've found that your settings might have changed which is why ads are suddenly appearing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by essjay, 17 days agoI love Adblock Plus. I've used it for years now. The extension by itself is great, but it also allows for custom filtering rules by the user. If you're gonna pick just one, go with ABP.
