AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock
Review by Joe
Rated 3 out of 5
by Joe, 5 years agoUsually AdBlock works great. Have used it for many years across many browsers. Made a small donation to support development. But recently I noticed my laptop performance dropping. Opened Task Manager and seen that Firefox was using almost 3GB of RAM! Restarted Firefox in safe mode and problem subsided. Tested turning on each installed add-on in turn, and sure enough the problem lay with AdBlock. Now I do also have DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials installed too, but the issue was replicated even when DuckDuckGo was disabled. So unfortunately I have to uninstall for now, but I'll be back once the issue hopefully gets sorted.

- Rated 2 out of 5by mixlix, a month agoFor years AdBlock the free version worked very well for me. Now with a new computer it no longer works at all. So I bought the premium adblock version. Ads are still appearing on youtube. Yes, I have done the the General and and advanced setting procedures as recommended. I hate the ads... Is adblock loosing the ad-war or em I missing something?

- Rated 1 out of 5by AN, a month agoIn general a nice add-on which does what it should, but as others said. The addon is frequently opening a new tab in foreground asking to donate or switch to paid version. I know no other addon (and there are very much great addons I use, that do not do this).

- Rated 2 out of 5by SICKS6SIX, a month agoit doesnt stop adverts on youtube or any of the other video content providers ive tried it with, what it does is this; often it opens another window and ask you for money so it doesnt open up that window in the future, the people who are giving this app 5* probably gave Ticktock 5* ratings as well. i gave it 2* becasue it was easy to uninstall, often these trype of money demanding apps are almost impossible to uninstall, so for that reason they get 2* from me,
