- Rated 1 out of 5by Faust, a year agoIt’s quite ironic that an ad blocker designed to eliminate unwanted commercial spam ends up opening its own unwanted commercial spam. I understand the need to monetize, but opening a new tab to push a subscription offer feels intrusive. Most people are already overwhelmed with numerous subscriptions and don’t want to add another. This approach undermines the very purpose of using an ad blocker in the first place.
Rethink your marketing efforts, AdBlock. Do better.Developer response
posted a year agoFor non-Premium users, our payment page displays when we update the extension to keep you informed on changes we've made and as a reminder to consider upgrading to Premium. There is no obligation to upgrade, and you can dismiss the page by clicking the "x" on the browser tab. I appreciate your feedback about your experience with the update page and have made a note for our team. If you have additional feedback or questions, you can reach us at support@getadblock.com — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 1 out of 5by familycanidae, a year agoUse Ublock Origin. Adblock will open up a spam tab every single day asking you to pay money for their "Premium" service. I was using this app because I DIDN'T WANT popups, lmao.
They're also going to reply to this review stating that the basic app is available for free and that the pop-up tab can simply be closed. Hey Adblock, I have a better solution--how about you stop asking for handouts and stop spamming us with popups? :D "If you don't like the tab you can just close it" is the same as saying "Hey, we are going to try to punch you in the face every day, if you don't like that you can just try to dodge the punch."Developer response
posted a year agoIt's not expected to see the update page every day. It should only display when we release an update to the extension. Feel welcome to email us at support@getadblock.com and we can help troubleshoot. — Kat C., AdBlock Support Developer response

posted a year agoIt may be that YouTube is temporarily circumventing our blocks. I recommend trying workarounds that have been reported by other users: https://helpcenter.getadblock.com/hc/en-us/articles/9738509282451-I-m-seeing-ads-in-YouTube-videos — Kat C., AdBlock Support- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12593086, a year agothis add-on is asking me for money in order to work. you better get ublock origing, it's the best adblock out there.

posted a year agoThe only way we keep track of users of our free products is with an anonymous userID. If your extension has not been upgraded to Premium, you will see our optional payment page when we release updates to the extension.

Absolute bullshit!
Does not work to block Twitch ads. The Adblock home page claims it is the ONLY Firefox extension that blocks Twitch ads. Failure.Developer response
posted a year agoIf your extension has not been upgraded to Premium, when we update the extension we'll display the payment page to let you know about any new Premium features and offer you the option to upgrade. Feel free to close the page by clicking the "x" on the tab. We are also frustrated by Twitch's ability to circumvent our blocks. We hope to have these blocked again but it may take some time to block them all fully. — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13721403, a year agoUnusable since last update - Removed & went with something else.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Blue, a year agoI've uninstalled this extension, as it's way too obtrusive and unneccesary to be notified with a new browser window EVERYTIME the extension is updated. Ridiculous.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18413712, a year agoWhen I install an adblock, I install it get to rid of ads, not to replace them all with another ad that interupts what you're doing to open another tab with a god damn ad.

The fact that this ad blocker constantly opens a new tab that makes me sometimes lose what I was looking at in my many tabs is astounding. At the rate it happens, I'm starting to feel like this ad blocker is, ironically, adware. I'm not against them asking donations, but to do so in such a obtrusive way defeats the purpose of the extension. Please find another way to ask, or severely reduce the frequency that these tabs show up.
