- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18629279, 7 months agoI actually logged in just so that I could review ABP, that's how annoyed I am at it these days. It used to be the premier ad-block extension on the internet, but that was maybe 15 years ago. Over the last few years its declined in efficacy as well as becoming increasingly obtrusive. I'm sick and tired of opening up a new tab, only to have ABP trigger its advertisement tab begging me for money. It happens very regularly, sometimes several times within the same session.
I'm sick of it. I'm switching off of ABP. The last thing I wanted out of adblocker software is to make my own workflow inconvenient by introducing its own advertisements that are even more invasive than the ads it claims to block.
There are other, better, fish in the sea. Thanks for the good years, feels bad that you guys forced it in this direction.Developer response

- Rated 2 out of 5by Ky, 7 months agoUsed it for 15+ years, but it's now both functionally worse than uBlock Origin, and sends an annoying popunder every time it updates begging you to donate money for more features.
Works, usually, and isn't actively malicious or anything, but just save yourself the trouble and use uBlock.Developer response

Enabling AP disables far too many wanted parts of Fb

posted 7 months agoFor the ads appearing on Facebook, there may not be a whole lot we can do. Facebook has both "sponsored posts" and regular advertisements. However, only the latter are considered actual ads that we can block.
Facebook goes to great lengths to ensure that their sponsored posts remain unblocked, and they have an entire department dedicated to circumventing ad blockers. That said, we're constantly on the lookout for ways to make ABP better and continue to look for ways to get around Facebook's enormous ad blocking circumvention efforts. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13409857, 7 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lenny Fox, 7 months agoSadly my employer started blocking non-EU extensions on my work laptop. ABP works well
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13584940, 7 months agoI used to love this extension but once they started getting greedy and allowing ads in YouTube videos to get users to pay for premium I removed the extension and started using uBlock Origin instead, it works much better.

posted 7 months agoWe're aware that YouTube has been intermittently testing strategies to show either ads or their anti-adblocking wall. If you are seeing a brief display of an add, these are related to our efforts to stop adds on YouTube. However, in some cases we've found that your settings might have changed which is why ads are suddenly appearing. Please try the following steps:
1 - Signing out of your YouTube account
2 - Make sure you haven't added YouTube to your allowlisted websites
