by 18767B1DEC3, 3 years agoUsed to be a relatively decent extension, but became progressively worse once it began accepting bribes from websites to allow ads to slip through the cracks, while implementing a paid subscription that only allows certain ad filters to work if you are a subscriber. If you really don't like ads, use uBlock Origin as it is 100% free, the team does not want to wipe you clean of your money, and it does a much better job of blocking ads (plus it doesn't accept bribes from ad websites!).

posted 3 years agoHi there!
Thanks for your feedback. There seems to be some misunderstandings about our acceptable ads initiative. No company can pay us to have their ads shown. Ads have to meet the acceptable ads criteria and most companies pay us nothing at all. You can learn more about it here https://www.acceptableadscommittee.org. Even with this, you can disable acceptable ads.... users are still in control. Paid subscriptions are completely optional.
Thanks

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20034667, 7 days agoThis will remain a 1 star until ABP decides to stop interrupting my mornings with pop-up ads. Other ad blockers have enough common sense not to CAUSE THEIR OWN POP-UP ADS. When good ad blockers like uBlock Origin update, they do it quietly without bothering the user. The people at ABP thought you wouldn't mind annoying adverts if it was from them. Advertising to me a product I already have installed is a sure sign these people do not respect users time.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18607988, a month agoI like the ads blocking. I wish it had a way to actively save the whitelist. I keep having to re whitelist things, with an import / export of the config files.

posted a month agoWe appreciate your feedback. We use a system called smart allowlisting: if you do not visit a website that you have allowlisted within 7 days, it gets automatically removed from your allowlisted websites. If you visit it in 7 days, it will get renewed for another 7 days.
We are always looking to improve, so I am forwarding your message to our team for their consideration in future updates. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mirka, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pkon, 3 months agoРаботает, наверно, лучше всех среди бесплатных адблоков. Иногда на некоторых сайтах проскакивает реклама, но ее можно зарепортить и ее через какое то время убирают
