by Firefox user 16380553, 2 years agoStops some sites working by making pop ups appear (eg: nosloq.com works when adblock disabled, but fails when enabled), lots of websites have pop-ups it is no longer stopping and you cannot even "select element" to manually block them now".
It's better than nothing, but it is time to find something better - I think they are chasing money now, rather than providing awesome service. Both is ok, but I think they have the balance wrong now.
*** EDIT ***
No, the nosloq.com do not have an anti-ad blocking device in place - other than warning people it can cause issues.
The pop-up is just to let people log-in, but if they don't have an account they just need to click it off - so then can register instead.
If you use the site WITHOUT adblock - it works.
If you have ad block on, the pop-up just re-spawns. It is not a deliberate issue at their end - as when I spoke with them, they say you ARE aware of the problem - but just blamed it on problems with "filters".
The "legal way" to solve the problem here is to correct the filter that makes a single-show login popup, become a relentless re-spawn problem.
I have seen other sites do something similar too - it works fine (without any ads) without you - but if adblock is enabled it just breaks the site.

posted 2 years agoHello,
thank you for contacting Adblock Plus.
Some websites indeed 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tatters, 16 days agoUninstalled when it started giving me push notifs about how many ads it's blocked with completely hyperbolic numbers every 30 minutes or so. Simply not worth it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Максим Егоров, a month agoНе обновляется ни один из списков фильтров кроме одного free. Расширение либо сломано либо платное, а бесплатно в урезаном виде работает и ничего не блокирует .

- Rated 1 out of 5by optimusrex, a month agoSame as everyone else, it used to work, now it keeps advertising itself. A popup asking for money every time I open my browser. Defeats the whole purpose.

posted a month agoWhen we update the extension we share the latest options available for Premium. The payment page should only appear once every two weeks. We are also working on an option in a future version of ABP to allow you to prevent our update page from opening. If you are seeing the page more frequent than that or want to have this addressed sooner, please submit a support request and we'll be happy to assist you: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/requests/new. - Rated 1 out of 5by ThornLaFahr, a month agoEvery other day a Tab pop up begging for money. The addon does what it should prevent in the first place.

Com a internet escalando nesse nivel, esta extensão é essencial.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike, a month agoWorks okay. However, everything time that you type something on facebook, the text you type on any post takes a very long time for the text to show up that it is
ridiculously so slow. This negative side effect is so annoying that I can't recommend this ad blocker for firefox. Try it, and you'll be wondering why your typing is so slow, until you remove this extension.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by mtremblay, 2 months agoThis adblocker now shows ADS! It constantly asks for money seemingly everytime I open my browser. I can't even disable the request and just use the free version.
Avoid using it now and use ublock Origin instead.Developer response

What's the point of an adblocker if it's more annoying than the ads?
