- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18734675, 3 months agoThis used to be a great ad-on, but the constant pop ups asking for premium membership on a daily basis - and sometimes two in a row - is super annoying. Either make it a paid service, or make it free. I'm moving to the Ublock extension instead.

posted 2 months agoWe are updating the extension, therefore a popup might appear (it will only happen once per browser/device), but you can simply close it and continue browsing. If you are seeing many payment tabs all at once or encountering the payment page every time you open your browser, please reach out to us via https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/requests/new. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18734302, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Meredith, 3 months agoPretty damn useless. The page refresh is disabled unless they get money. Waste of space.....

posted 2 months agoI am not sure I understand what you mean by "the page refresh is disabled unless they get money". This is not the case with ABP.

Taking features out is simply unacceptable. Please don't tell me that these are now "premium features", because they are not; this is basic functionality. I'd move to a different adblocker if needs be.

There are too many respectful options to deal with it anymore.

IT LITERALLY DOES THE THING IT'S SUPPOSED TO PREVENT. Fuck this garbage extension made by idiots.

It happens multiple times per week (same browser, same device), it disrupts my work flow, and is more annoying and intrusive than the ads that it's blocking. Moving to ublock because I'm just not going to support a company that spams their users.

posted 3 months agoWe are a free extension. Every time ABP is installed you will see our contribution page. Feel free to close the page by clicking the "x" on the tab if you've already paid or prefer not to contribute at this time.- Rated 1 out of 5by Kris, 4 months agoA few years ago, absolute 10/5. It no longer blocks Twitch ads and hasn't for a very long time, and now it's failing to block YouTube ads. The ads themselves on YouTube don't play, but once you click on the video you have to wait for a while then the ads seem to be over and you have to click play again. Also I'm getting new window pop ups recently that instantly get blocked from view, but the window still shows up. Seems they've given up on this addon.

Cancelling a subscription appears impossible, short of closing the funding bank account.
The monthly payment receipt only has links for their payment partner, Paddle.
There is no pathway to login to the Adblock Plus account to cancel paid subscription. Trying to log into the Adblock Plus account returns an 'incorrect password' error, and no emails are received when the 'reset password' instructions are followed.
Do not install this, and if you have already installed it, do not pay for it. If they were confident that their product was good enough to keep you wanting more, they would make it easy to cancel the subscription. Instead, they have created one of the most difficult cancellation processes I've ever encountered.Developer response

Now I've been using uBlock Origin and that one works flawlessly.

posted 5 months agoTwitch goes to great lengths to ensure that their ads remain unblocked, and they have an entire department dedicated to circumventing ad blockers. We're just a tiny team and it's been tough to work against our well-financed opponents. That said, we're constantly on the lookout for ways to make ABP better and continue to look for ways to get around Twitch's enormous ad blocking circumvention efforts.- Rated 1 out of 5by nm115, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Max, 5 months agoNot working on Youtube anymore. Will skip ads but Youtube detects it and blocks videos from playing. Adblock Plus on Opera does not have this problem with Youtube.
