by Tehhutch, 9 months agoRemoved after years of use, My browsing session being interrupted by tabs informing me of updates, then nagging for donations is more annoying than the ads it's supposed to block.. I get that developers need support, but there's better ways of doing this.
"Once per browser per device" every time an "update" is pushed out is a terrible way of doing this and false when I see the tab opened several times in an evening during a browsing session.
ABP could do better, instead I have removed it and moved on to other add-ons as it's not worth the headache or interruptions. There are better, more competitive tools out there these days, that behave better than this... Sorry but you could do better.

posted 9 months agoHi,
We 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 support@adblockplus.org.
Here's more about how our contribution page works: For non-Premium users, we populate the page when we update the extension to keep you informed on changes we've made and as a reminder to support Adblock Plus if you find the software beneficial. We don't track who has previously paid unless your extension is already upgraded to Adblock Plus Premium (and in that case we won't show you the update page at all). The contribution page also displays just after installing ABP so it sometimes appears even though you have recently contributed or have paid for Premium.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Boon, a day agoSo when I got this addon they brought me to a website donate $35 and will never ask you for money again...
Well can adblock please explain to me why I get a popup every once in a while to give $40 a year to use their addon?
About the money I donated which was $35 I want it back. Why you don't need to lie about it be honest up front.
Also if some admin is reviewing this I will be more than glad to show that donated $35 to adblock to have them turn around and demand another $40... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15450672, 2 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pinky the Bat, 4 days agoIt's pretty good. It doesn't block ads on YouTube, but I use an ad-free YouTube client called FreeTube anyway. Thanks to the developers for this add-on. ☺

- Rated 1 out of 5by FQC, 12 days agoFormerly would block pop up video ads, that's now been moved a subscription based service. Would rate 0/5 if I could. Bad business practice.
