AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock

by Firefox user 9859644, 8 years agoI like this add-on even though when Mozilla first load up, some ads sneak in but after Mozilla is fully loaded the ads disappear. An update must've happened within 24 hours because when I went to Youtube to play some videos today I keep getting an 'error has occurred. please try back later.' and it gives an ID code. I go to restart Mozilla in safe mode and the Youtube videos play so I learn it's an add-on screwing up what once was working and find out it's this add-on. So now if I want to watch a Youtube video I would have to disable this add-on to do so. I'm tired of having to go through this with Mozilla. Either an update screws up my settings or an updated add-on screws up my settings. When will the developers learn that if it 'ain't' broke then stop trying to 'fix' it!!

posted 8 years agoA couple of broken filters in EasyList recently caused YouTube videos not to load. Instead, videos displayed the error you saw. This affected every ad blocker that uses EasyList (which is most of them, actually).
The folks at EasyList were made aware of the issue and released an update pretty quickly. You should have received the update automatically within a day or two. Please make sure your filter lists are current. If they aren't, manually update your filter lists and restart your browser to apply the corrections.
To manually update your filter lists:
Click the AdBlock button on the browser toolbar and select Options.
On the FILTER LISTS tab, click update now.
Restart your browser.
Please let us know if this doesn't work for you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18809457, 5 days agoFantastic tool. Unfortunately, Since about a year YouTube is intelligent enough to see that adblocker software is installed and then even blocks your access to them.
So do a few other sites I use this tool with.
Would be great if AdBlock finds a compromise/way to maybe allow a certain amount of ads and then block others.
I really hate YouTube for forcing people to pay Premium. - Rated 2 out of 5by binglosmuck, 5 days agofrequent popup tabs begging for money defeats the purpose of the goddamn addon. it was fine when it was every few months but the current frequency has me disabling this. CUT IT OUT

- Rated 3 out of 5by Seraphael, 17 days agoAllowing ads on specific YouTube channels rarely works as expected - in fact, it very often has the opposite effect. Ads frequently play on channels that haven't enabled them, while failing to appear on channels you want to support with ads.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Wagner, a month ago"chegou no firefox" SEMPRE existiu para firefox, demorou mesmo pra chegar pro chrome que veio só 7 anos depois da versão do fire.
o certo é falar que voltou para o firefox, pois viram que o navegador nutellinha da google ta flopando, que o povo sem noção demora pra perceber algo que a gente percebe no primeiro dia. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18757328, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Fyralon, 2 months agoHas not blocked advertising on YouTube for about 6 days. On the contrary, it automatically switches on that advertising is allowed on YT.Although I have clearly set to block them

posted a month agoWhen we detect YouTube's anti-adblocking warning, we will automatically pause AdBlock so you can continue watching without disruption. The pause is temporary, so if you leave YouTube and return later, it will remain unpaused until the warning is detected again. We believe YouTube will only attempt to show you the wall for a day or two, and then we can go back to blocking ads as normal. — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 5 out of 5by jonet, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Alex, 2 months agoDon't block ads on YouTube any more. Just add feature which you can't disable. Turn it on without warning or something like that. Sold out to Google. Ok, find a new one.
