The ad blocker has intrusive pop-ups just like the things it's designed to protect you from now.
They disguise them as "update" notifications but they are pushing updates every week and if you have the extension on multiple devices it will take over whatever tab you have open and show you that it's updated for the 5th time this month on every single device and conveniently also have an option to donate money.
The annoyance quickly builds up. After being interrupted and having to close a good 20-30 pop ups across all my devices a month, I'm done.

it doesn't work on youtube

It’s quite ironic that an ad blocker designed to eliminate unwanted commercial spam ends up opening its own unwanted commercial spam. I understand the need to monetize, but opening a new tab to push a subscription offer feels intrusive. Most people are already overwhelmed with numerous subscriptions and don’t want to add another. This approach undermines the very purpose of using an ad blocker in the first place.

Rethink your marketing efforts, AdBlock. Do better.

Use Ublock Origin. Adblock will open up a spam tab every single day asking you to pay money for their "Premium" service. I was using this app because I DIDN'T WANT popups, lmao.

They're also going to reply to this review stating that the basic app is available for free and that the pop-up tab can simply be closed. Hey Adblock, I have a better solution--how about you stop asking for handouts and stop spamming us with popups? :D "If you don't like the tab you can just close it" is the same as saying "Hey, we are going to try to punch you in the face every day, if you don't like that you can just try to dodge the punch."

Not working

does not help with new Youtube ads ( 08/01/24)

this add-on is asking me for money in order to work. you better get ublock origing, it's the best adblock out there.

it does not work

Malware. Constantly opening self-promoting tabs for pointless subscription plans.

I just got a popup tab from this extension begging for money!! Absolute bullshit!

Does not work to block Twitch ads. The Adblock home page claims it is the ONLY Firefox extension that blocks Twitch ads. Failure.

Unusable since last update - Removed & went with something else.

I've uninstalled this extension, as it's way too obtrusive and unneccesary to be notified with a new browser window EVERYTIME the extension is updated. Ridiculous.

here is a fair warning if you think firefox is slow its thank to this adblock wish it was not joke bin a really good adblock but its slow down every webpage/the full browser

Please stop slowing down browsers if you don't donate!! :( I'm so sorry but I'm switching

When I install an adblock, I install it get to rid of ads, not to replace them all with another ad that interupts what you're doing to open another tab with a god damn ad.

I got an ad blocker to remove constant pestering and distractions from companies. The fact that this ad blocker constantly opens a new tab that makes me sometimes lose what I was looking at in my many tabs is astounding. At the rate it happens, I'm starting to feel like this ad blocker is, ironically, adware. I'm not against them asking donations, but to do so in such a obtrusive way defeats the purpose of the extension. Please find another way to ask, or severely reduce the frequency that these tabs show up.

Tell me how to REMOVE this horrible PITA extension PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

1-STAR, It does not say you need to pay
