Hi,

Some websites have an anti ad blocking wall in place, which requires users to disable their ad blockers to access the page.

Websites are in their right to request this, though we believe it is an extremely intrusive practice. We cannot legally stop it but we are constantly exploring legal ways to combat this.

Thank you so much!!

Hi,

We are sorry to hear your experience with ABP has not been positive.

I believe you are referring to our Acceptable Ads program when saying that ABP "purposefully allows certain ads to pass through its filter." This program means that websites are permited to show certain ads on the page. However, those ads have to follow a series of criterias that are judged by a commitee (ie. not animated, non-intrusive, cannot block content, etc). Users can easily opt-out of seeing Acceptable Ads on their ABP settings page.

If you would like us to investigate any issues you are experiencing, don't hesitate to contact us via support@adblockplus.org. We will be happy to help!

Muchas gracias!

Hi Justin,

YouTube's anti-adblock wall should no longer appear with the ABP desktop extension installed in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. You may see a variety of different behaviors such as a temporary black screen or a very brief display of an ad. These are related to our efforts to stop ads from appearing for you.


If you are using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and you still see the anti-adblock notification, can you please reach out to us via support@adblockplus.org? We will be happy to look into it!

We are so happy to hear this! Your voice and opinion are important to us!

Thank you!! :)

Hello,

If you are still being asked to disable Adblock Plus even with ABP already off/page allowlisted, most likely something else is causing the issue. This article can be helpful in understanding the problem: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/articles/1500003502101-Why-am-I-still-asked-to-turn-off-my-ad-blocker-after-allowlisting

Happy to hear you have been enjoying ABP! :))
