- Rated 1 out of 5by Dormiyu, 2 months agoIt's just stopped working as of yesterday and nothing I can find seems to make it work again. It's also ironically asking for money now...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lesley Lai, 3 months agoI like this plugin and it works well for me. Unfortunately, from the Github:
> I am no longer the owner of the extension called "FadBlock". I handed the extension off over a month ago, seems like it traded hands a couple of times, and now the current owner has added malicious code while keeping the extension as it is!
https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock - Rated 1 out of 5by nuhg, 4 months agodownload for blockING ads.
however, it got much more ads.
Nice job - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14362366, 6 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 6 months agoA paid extension on FIREFOX ?!! The dev should take his scummy practices back to Chrome where this kind of behaviour belongs.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Aures, 7 months agoSkips the ads...and the whole video. Also keeps the video locked at the end so you're not able to see it

- Rated 1 out of 5by triger, 8 months agoMakes youtube slow and laggy and now it stoped working unless you pay for it, so i had to search for another working adblock and found uBlock origin, it works perfectly fine like with no lag and no 0.5 second ad skip, its just like pre youtube adblock ban. Don't waste your time with this crap extension.

posted 8 months agoHope your account doesn't get banned (https://www.reddit.com/r/Adblock/comments/17rluvd/purging_caches_refreshing_in_ublock_on_firefox/) because you seem like the guy who has no idea what is he doing. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mizuki, 8 months agoUsed to work fairly well, now refuses to work without payment and wants access to information about every website you visit.
Use Ublock instead - Rated 1 out of 5by VoltageEfflux, 8 months agoAdblocker that advertises to you and the developer doesn't see the irony in this and decided to cancel support after the next update because not enough people purchased something that they installed specifically to avoid paying for a service; Proving their hesitance to pay was justified due to the lack of guaranteed support in the future.
(By the way, you may want to remove that soon, because it's literally an option that's able to be selected when reporting an add-on to Mozilla: "It contains spam or inserts unwanted advertising Example: Insert ads on webpages"
The use of overlaying a payment window also isn't stated in the add-on description, it simply states that the add on "uses extensionpay.com as a payment processor integrated with Stripe for obtaining a one-time lifetime license after an initial free trial period", no where does this state that the add-on will be overlaying this by force; this violates the "No surprises" Mozilla Add-on Policy which specifies "Users should be able to easily discern what the functionality of your add-on is and should not be presented with unexpected user experiences after installing it." ) - Rated 1 out of 5by ARandomPerson, 8 months agoslows down the entire browser. Even firefox gives warning; that the extension is slowing down the browser. Very poorly optimized.

posted 8 months agoIt's the problem with YouTube injecting a ton of useless DOM elements which FadBlock has to go through. The lag stabilises after a while and YouTube starts working smoothly.
I am working on targeting the skip button more accurately to increase the performance. Still, it will be delayed a bit as there are higher-priority issues coming in the next update. - Rated 1 out of 5by Carlos, 8 months ago

posted 8 months agoIt won't. Just "cancel" and reload the tab.
Also, by 'soon', do you mean after 500 ads (if you're an existing user)?- Rated 1 out of 5by Winterblue, 8 months agoStarts asking for money which completely defeats the point.

posted 8 months agoThe upgrade was hastily put and the current limit is 3 not just the one. And I have already increased the limit to 50 and submitted it to the store.
A new upgrade has already been submitted but it'll take the dev team a day or two to give it the green light and roll out the new version.
Seems like people don't even want to make a one-time contribution, I will be discontinuing the support and will be not replying to threads after the next update. - Rated 1 out of 5by skyline555, 8 months agoRubbish. Didn't work that well before and now he's asking for money? He'll probably take it and bounce. Wouldn't give him a cent.
Btw. you can still watch vids with an ad blocker, just open the video in incognito mode. Don't give scammers your hard earned money. - Rated 1 out of 5by gost, 8 months agoJust doesn't work anymore and when it did work it was full of bugs.

posted 8 months agoIf you want to, you can post 'em. However, I am not maintaining the repository anymore.
I am pushing a new version with a softer limit, maybe that's the problem? If you want to, test it when it comes, and if not, uninstall FadBlock. I will not be updating it. - Rated 1 out of 5by gr, 8 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15792835, 8 months agoAfter the update, a window keeps popping up, asking for payment and saying it has stopped working. It pops up every time I click on a video! It's very annoying.
