by Firefox user 14333591, 7 years agoFirst let me say, I LOVE this extension. Any computer I get my hands on, mine or not, gets AdNauseam installed on it. I recommend it to everyone I know, and have the chrome version ready to go at a moment's notice, despite not even using chrome.
My ONLY qualm is not with the philosophy of AdNauseam, which I completely ascribe to, or any of the behavior it normally displays.
However, sometimes the filter lists require updating, but they NEVER get updated. I can wait for an hour and nothing will happen, and there's no indication of how long it will take for it to finish. What's worse is that a page refresh seems to stop the updating of the filter list s altogether, and set me back to where I started. Even changing the process priority to -20 does nothing. The only success I've had with remedying this problem is removing and reinstalling.
I only wish there were more information about this problem other than that it takes a lot of CPU to update the lists.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13248877, 5 months agoUnfortunately this addon is causing constant errors on YouTube at the moment. Causing playback errors about 90% of the time when clicking a video into a new tab. Had to disable for now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Arnald, 5 months agoLove how AdNauseam works. However it would be nice to have the ad vault limit how many ads it saves. Or have it auto delete the vault after a certain amount of time.(Like after 30 days or a week depending on a persons preference)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sloccy, 6 months agoWhile the original purpose of this extension is to obfuscate your advertising profile, I use it with the hope that it generates more revenue towards some of my favorite sites! I dial the click frequency back to the minimum of 10% in the hope that the click fraud wont be detected and those sites make more money from me than otherwise. I can't afford to subscribe or donate to every site, but I can afford to do this. All while not having to pollute my view with the ads to begin with. Thanks for making this and keep up the great work!
