- Rated 1 out of 5by Cne9999, 16 hours agoGarbage, does not block ad's on normal websites.
The 'Report issue' says "Highlight issue
Use the tools to highlight each ad or hide sensitive info on the screenshot. Highlighting ads will help us fix the issue faster."s. There are no F'ing tools. WTF is wring with this company. I am sure they're taking bribes from sites and ad brokers. Just fing garbage.
And I am a premium subscriber.Developer response

Now they're working with Google to disable the extension and force ads on users.

posted 2 hours agoWe are not partnering with Google. We are using a new strategy to handle YouTube's anti-ad blocking warning. When we detect YouTube's notification, we will automatically pause Adblock Browser so you can continue watching without disruption. The pause is temporary so if you leave YouTube and return later, it will remain unpaused until the warning is detected again. We believe YouTube will only attempt to show you the wall for a day or two and then we can go back to blocking ads as normal. - Rated 5 out of 5by seye, a day ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by superlow, 3 days agoUsed to be a good ad blocker. As of today has started switching off when using youtube without my permission which is too far and quite frankly malware at this point. Will never use anything by this company again given their illegal practices.

- Rated 1 out of 5by bossabsolute, 3 days agoThe addon gets automatically disabled on YouTube.
I re-enable it, but then when I close/open the browser, the addon is disabled again (only on YouTube)
How do I stop this? How is it even possible that YouTube can disable my addon??Developer response

On top of that I am finding that I have to disable this add-on for more and more websites from glitches it causes. Websites that don't really even have ad's. Like the most recent one, eBay. I was having problems with eBay loading. And after resetting Firefox, I started disabling add-ons. After I disabled Adblock suddenly eBay loads perfectly, and even faster than it has in a long time. Yes I tried reinstalling it, then I have the same problems again. This add-on has passed it's time. It has become what it was designed to block.
Edit: After using my browser without adblock for a few hours, every site is noticeably faster. Interesting, there was a time when adblock would speed things up... Evidently that has changed. Other reviews have a response about how you initiate that popup when there is an update. Perhaps limit how many times that can pop-up because it happened far more than once a month.Developer response
