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 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17173321, 10 days agoConstant pop ups from AD Blocker itself to pay $$$. I got an adblocker to AVOID pop ups. Kinda ironic!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Luiz, a month agoWhy would an ad blocker require access to "my data across ALL websites"? Beats me. If that changes, I might reconsider. Peace.

posted 16 days agoAd blockers first block a site's requests to download ads, then hide the ones that can't be blocked. To do that, the extension needs to see every page you open so that AdBlock can work on every page you visit. It also needs to find unblocked ads and change the data on the page by adding code to hide unblocked ads. — Kat C., AdBlock Support Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18809457, a month 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.Developer response
