Rated 1 out of 5
by Lumenation, a year agoThis extension allows itself to be detected. How do I know? I use Ublock Origin and AB+ for a long time. Every time adblock detections happened just disabled AB+ and Ublock gets you through.
Problem is: More and more sites are getting through. And yet AB+ is always updating. Which tells us as users a few things. 1) They don't care about improving the product or allowing the users to pass around working configs. 2) They are intentionally selling these detections or allowing them through purposely on sites, whether for money or to keep existing, maybe both. 3) It doesn't work because it's been neutralized in every way by those pesky advertisers who program sooooooo well.
I'm tired of ads for things that hate me finding me. I'm tired of ads that hate people finding me. I hate ads finding me because I have no money to spend and these people are taking from others to pay AB+ so they can also take from others.Any choice out of these should just make you go all Old Cap on this extension: "No I don't think I will".

- Rated 1 out of 5by Garrus-V, 2 days agoUnexpectedly opens a Browser Tab asking me to upgrade to a plan and pay. HARD. F***ING. NO! >Use uBlock Origin instead.< Also, the "allow some non-intrusive ads"? What in the actual f*ck? It completely subverts what I attempt to achieve!
I list this ad blocker as "Not Recommended".
TL;DR
Get uBlock Origin and spare Yourself ads completely and the ad blocker's "ads" about getting a plan. - Rated 5 out of 5by AdriReg, 5 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18949590, 6 days agoFait sa propre pub tous les 15 jours en ouvrant un nouvel onglet pour vendre sa daube et on ne sait plus quel est le dernier onglet qu'on visitait. A supprimer d'urgence.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18948543, 6 days agoThe real thing, and, has never let me down for 2 straight decades. There are a lot of wannabe fake ones that "look" like they are blocking stuff this one misses but that's not true, they are just "stealing" those stats by stepping in front and blocking them before it can by moving itself up in the page handler queue. Don't be tricked by fakes or moofed by reviews of novices/kiddos who can't configure their devices properly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18946283, 8 days agoWHAT IS THE POINT OF YOUR 'BLOCK ELEMENT' OPTION WHEN EVERY TIME I RETURN TO THE PAGE THE ELEMENT IS NOT BLOCKED!!???
- Rated 2 out of 5by Oztaco, 9 days agoThe plugin works fine overall except it randomly opens a new tab every time it updates, begging for donations. I get it, stuff costs money to make. This is a really annoying way to ask for donations though and cheapens the experience. Other ad block plugins dont do this.
- Rated 4 out of 5by KevK, 10 days agoused this for a long old while, at the very least a decade, but now, not only with it being ineffective on youtube but also in general, there may be better alternatives out there like Ublock origin
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mirso, 11 days agoIm using this addon for long time already and it worked mostly, but since a while YT can access my FF addon settings and disables this addon automatically after YT is recognizing that Adblock Plus is installed and active, so it doesn't take effect anymore-> no block functionality anymore, biggest question is, how can YT access settings on FF and change them, and also, which other settings can be accessed from outside to FF?
