- Rated 1 out of 5by Wirek, 6 years agoMissing import/export functionality (present in older versions!)! Copying and pasting rules exported from older version into text-box areas is counter-intuitive (some of elements like prefixes and suffixes must be manually removed!)! A separate text-box area for "Element Hiding Rules" is missing (it is joined/merged with "Custom Filter Rules" now).
It lets through far too many advertisements and "Adblock Warning and blocking" screens (even with "Adblock Warning Removal List" and "ABP filters" added and enabled) - so it doesn't really do what it is supposed to do!
Shame on you, Adblock Plus!
Edit:
I have abandoned you after many years together in favour of your rival uBlock Origin - their add-on is far more useful.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi Wirek!
We hate to see you go! I will certainly pass along the feedback to the team for further improvements. I agree, and export option for custom rules would be great for users. Can you send us some example URLs where you were seeing ads? Feel free to send these details to us via support@adblockplus.org. We look forward to your follow up!
Thanks

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by rooiratel, 6 years agoDOES NOT WORK! This still lets ads through, if the ad companies pay them to whitelist their ads. This is not an adblocker and should not be called one, since it can't even do the 1 thing it is supposed to do.

posted 6 years agoHello!
Please be advised that no company can simply pay to have their ads shown. Publishers have to meet criteria set by the Acceptable Ads Committee before whitelisting is even considered. Most companies actually pay us nothing at all. Users still have the ability to block these ads by disabling “allow acceptable ads” in options. If you still experience ads with this feature disabled, please send us the URL along with a screenshot of your subscribed filter lists to support@adblockplus.org. We are more than happy to troubleshoot. You can find out more about how Acceptable Ads works here https://acceptableads.com.

- Rated 1 out of 5by 1Cef0xGReeN, 6 years agoНа ютубе появилась реклама, при снятой галке с разрешенной рекламой.
Реклама появилась даже после обновления страницы, 2 раза - Rated 1 out of 5by Борец за правду, 6 years agoВ своём нынешнем состоянии Adblock Plus практически не работает! Настроил обновлённый плагин таким образом, что бы, как и раньше, не видеть рекламы НИГДЕ, и что же? На веб-страницах и сайтах ТЕПЕРЬ, после какого то из прошлых обновлений Adblock Plus (а возможно самого Firefox), реклама (любая) не блокируется абсолютно, а на Ютубе блокируется только у небольшого количества видеороликов! Поэтому - увы - ставлю только одну звезду, хотя раньше, на протяжении нескольких лет, выставлял всегда 5 звёзд. :-(
--------------------------
In the present status Adblock Plus practically does not work! Configured the updated plug-in in such a way that, as before, not to see the advertizing ANYWHERE, and that? On web pages and the websites NOW, after some of last updates of Adblock Plus (and perhaps Firefox), advertizing (any) is not blocked absolutely, and on YouTube is blocked only at a small amount of videos! Therefore - alas - I put only one star though earlier, for several years, exposed always 5 stars.: - (
--------------------------
¡En el estado Adblock Plus actual no trabaja prácticamente! ¿Ha ajustado renovado плагин así que, cómo antes, no ver la publicidad EN NINGUNA PARTE y que? En las páginas web y los sitios AHORA, después de que esto de las renovaciones Adblock Plus pasadas (¡y es posible más Firefox), la publicidad (cualquiera) no es bloqueado absolutamente, y en Yutube es bloqueado solamente cerca de la cantidad pequeña de los videorodillos! Por eso - ay - pongo solamente una estrella, aunque antes, a lo largo de algunos años, sacaba siempre 5 estrellas.: - (
--------------------------
在目前情况下 Adblock Plus 几乎不工作! 因此,设立了一个更新的插件会和以前一样,不能看到广告的地方,怎样? 现在的网页和站点的一切之后的升级是从过去的 Adblock Plus (并且可能最 Firefox )、广告(任何)绝对不会锁定,并锁定在 youtube 的视频只有一小部分! 因此,我仅--唉--一个明星,而过去几年,总是曝光 5 颗星。 -(
--------------------------
Im jetzigem Zustand Adblock Plus arbeitet tatsächlich nicht! Hat das würde erneuerte Plug-In so dass, wie auch früher, gestimmt, die Werbung NIRGENDS, und was zu sehen? Auf den Web-Seiten und den Webseiten JETZT nicht, nach welchem jene der vorigen Erneuerungen Adblock Plus nicht gesperrt wird (und es ist am meisten Firefox möglich), die Werbung (jede) absolut, und auf Jutube wird nur bei der kleinen Anzahl der Videowerbefilme gesperrt! Deshalb - leider - stelle ich nur einen Stern, obwohl früher, während einiger Jahre, immer 5 Sterne ausstellte.: - (
--------------------------
Dans l'état actuel Adblock Plus ne travaille pas pratiquement! A orienté le plug-in renouvelé de manière que, comme plus tôt, ne pas voir la publicité NULLE PART, et que ? Sur les pages Web et les sites MAINTENANT, après quel cela des rénovations passées Adblock Plus (et il est possible le plus Firefox), la publicité (chacune) ne se bloque pas absolument, et sur Jutoube se bloque seulement près d'une petite quantité de vidéoroulettes! C'est pourquoi - hélas - je mets seulement une étoile, bien que plus tôt, à la longueur de quelques ans, expose toujours 5 étoiles. : - (Developer response

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by az55, 6 years agoМного чего сегодня перестало нормально работать - яндекс.карты, youtube и т.д. Так что теперь еще один повод свалить с нечистоплотного Adblock - со многих сервисов (Яндекс и т.п.) Adblock стал брать деньги, чтобы не скрывать там рекламу.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Leif, 6 years ago'Acceptable Ads' has lost this ad-blocker its integrity. uBlock Origin is a much faster and better ad blocker. Read "There are no acceptable ads" by FiveFilters for more.

posted 6 years agoHello!
So sorry to hear you think that. There seems to be some misunderstandings about our Acceptable Ads Initiative. Users are still in control, and can disable “allow acceptable ads” in options. If you still experience ads with this option disabled, please be advised that these are more than likely NOT Acceptable Ads. In these cases please send us the URL along with a screenshot of your subscribed filter lists to support@adblockplus.org. We are usually able to get these reported to the filter list team and resolved. Rest assured no company can pay us to have their ads shown. Publishers have to meet the criteria set by the Acceptable Ads Committee before being considered. Most companies actually pay us nothing at all. You can find more details regarding Acceptable Ads here https://acceptableads.com. As always we do welcome any additional questions.
Thanks

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14438640, 6 years agoAdblock plus blockiert, aber es funtktioniert bei vielen Websits nicht, ihn zu deaktivieren. Das nervt inzwischen so sehr, daß ich dieses Add-on leider entfernen werde.
= Adblock plus works, but I can't manage do deactvate it on certain websites. This has been annoying me so much, that I'll deinstall adblock plus. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13902805, 6 years ago
