- Rated 1 out of 5by IdealIdeas, 3 years agoGet Ublock Origin instead. At least Ublock Origin blocks ALL Ads
- Rated 1 out of 5by Just Another Guy, 3 years agoIt literally does not work anymore. First Youtube videos broke, now it always says 0 ads blocked when pages are full of them. I've been using it long enough to hit 400,000 ads blocked, and it's been sat at the same number for months now.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Prim, 3 years agoIt needs an update. No longer works on YouTube videos, at least in incognito mode, even with the "Run in Incognito mode" enabled. Appears as if it's running on the page, but ads will appear on videos nonetheless. (*edit: still the case now)
- Rated 1 out of 5by jzen, 3 years agoIt's probably not your fault but every time I try to download Adblock Plus I get the error message: "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pjotr72, 3 years agoWhy do you ask me every few seconds for rating your app? This is how one gets one star ...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mark, 3 years agoI was getting ads on you tube every 2 minutes and installed the Adblock; nothing has changed, not even after restart. So... it doesn't work. It actually doesn't block anything anywhere. Removed.

posted 3 years agoHi,
Thanks for reaching out to us! After some research we found that after the update users saw "always use private browsing mode" enabled in FF. Disabling this allows ABP to run as normal. To do this, click the settings menu icon in the right corner of the browser > settings >privacy & security > scroll down to the history section > choose "Use custom settings for history" from the drop down menu > uncheck "always use private browsing mode". If you need more assistance please contact us via support@adblockplus.org.
Thanks

ABP Support Team- Rated 1 out of 5by Fred, 3 years agoIt worked with private browsing before, thus making us deactivate it is NO solution. Users who use private browsing have theyr reason and will not deactivate it thus just switch to an adblocker who is not forcing them to turn it off!
Used it for years but since I went onto Kubuntu 22.04 (which maybe just a coincidence) it does not remember any filter list anymore. Not my own, not the language filter lists nor the filter lists that came with ABP. I select the filter lists, I make own filter lists and as soon as the browser is being restarted everything is gone! And there I was wondering why ads are not being blocked. (FF 100.0.2, 64-bit, Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002-1.0)
I have also tested the suggestion about the FF privacy settings who are mentioned below in German. It makes no difference. No ads are blocked, no filters being remembered. This time when I reinstalled ABP the filters where active from the start, after I restarted FF all filters where gone again including the one filter I have created by myself for testing purposes. Also those filters didnt take even when they where active and ads where shown everywhere I went.
Then I have tried another adblock addon and with that blocking works again so it is definetly ABP.Developer response

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by Jeka, 3 years agoAdBlock Plus has stopped working in the past few days. I saw the developer responses below about disabling "always use private browsing mode" enabled in FF - it was never enabled. Not sure what the problem is. Hope you get it fixed soon.
