by Firefox user 10700314, 2 years agoIt doesn't work anymore. It hasn't blocked anything in a long time. It used to show what it blocked, but now it shows it's enabled, but it's not blocking anything. I don't know what they've done to it, but it's broken. I've had to start using a different ad blocker and that works ok - at least it blocks. But I miss this one.
Last night after posting this I went to Adguard settings and noticed everything was toggled to off. The extension itself was enabled, but no filters were turned on. So I turned them on and it started blocking again. However...Tonight I noticed that once again, AdGuard is enabled, but not blocking. So I went to its settings and everything was turned off - and I did NOT do that. I live alone. No one has been in my home. All I have done is to wake my computer up from sleep and I think I restarted it once. WHY would these settings toggle themselves off when either the computer sleeps or is restarted? I'm not going to check every single time, but this sounds hinky. I have no malware or viruses on my computer, I've cleared cookies and cache, I'm at a loss to explain it. But it's messed up. I have two other adblockers and neither one of them does this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19652499, 9 days agoMit dem Update vom 28. Dezember 2025 um 17:00 kann ich nicht mehr auf meinen Router zugreifen obwohl dieser auf der Freigabeliste steht und somit eigendlich verfügbar sein sollte. Die Version davor hatte dies berücksichtigt.
Da dieses Problem besteht ist für mich dieses Addon für mich wertlos geworden und wird deistalliert. - Rated 5 out of 5by LiminalCore, 9 days ago

AdBlock does pretty much what it says, however, free solutions like AdBlock Ultimate does all that AdGuard DNS does as well. System level blocking is certainly attractive, but that can be accomplished by simply inputting the DNS data into the network connection. I was interested primarily for the stealth benefits as I have a pesky web service which makes me wait 3 seconds between page refreshes if I don't disable my adblocker. Please add stealth options for five stars. Uninstalled for now. - Rated 5 out of 5by karga8888, 17 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by bb-rai, 18 days agoI was unable to join a Google Meet until I disabled this extension, even though it claimed it was blocking zero ads on the page. I don't even care that it was mistakenly blocking Google Meet, because the first thing I checked was whether it was the adblocker. The problem is that it claims to not be blocking when it does!! How do you get that wrong!? Detecting ads is hard. Telling the truth is easy! Get it right.
