posted 7 years agoHi!
Thanks for your feedback! You disable on a particular site, by simply clicking the ABP icon and then click "Enabled for this site". You can also still disable Adblock Plus everywhere by clicking on the Firefox hamburger icon ( three horizontal lines in the upper right corner) >clicking on Add ons> click on Adblock plus> and choose disable from there. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions via support@adblockplus.org.
Thanks
Shannon

- Rated 1 out of 5by exobrian, 7 years ago1. Its suddenly not blocking ANYTHING.
2. It doesn't show up on my tool bar either. No way to turn it on/off or adjust it.
3. Every time I unload it and add it again to Firefox it doesn't fix it.
4. There is no place to contact them.
5. Wondering if Google bought you out?
So sorry to see this happen to AD-P. Off to find something that works. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13974487, 7 years agojust updated last night...I'm not happy. Yes it blocks most of the ads, yes it only shows the "acceptable ads" but it wont let me adjust my settings at all. I can't even set the language.
Also why can I not place the adblock icon on my toolbar like I could the old version? I preferred the ease of access I had that way.
And I'd prefer to block all video ads completely instead of just auto-muting them. Actually, if I'm 100% honest I prefer to block ALL ads because most of the time they freeze up my computer. Yeah that's right, I block ads because I have a crap computer that CAN'T HANDLE ADS WITHOUT FREEZING!!! - Rated 1 out of 5by xyzzy-xyzzy, 7 years ago

POSTED as new review since sadly there is no reply option to Ad Block Plus aka ABP SPIN CONTROL REPLY on previous honest bad review , alerting users and potential down-loaders of the extension things have changes . ABP is no longer the knight in shining amour on a white horse. to backhander under the table dirty tricks used by ABP
Opt out is a cop out first and foremost that is old spammer speak. See a parallel of behavior?
Even after opting out, a user is required to chase through the settings to yet again for the 100+ F'ing time to re-opt out because ADP updates engage in dirty tricks to reset user preferences with each and every update. So many one begins to question the legitimacy of the updates(no way to shut them off easily) of having actual content other than the purpose of reenable'ing your "so claimed, non- financially incentive coherts". Please go back to your original behavior,
People already will whitelist websites, blogs, forums,etc. they want to support by showing ads. No advertiser has a right to force their ad into my home, which is exactly what ABP is doing with their ""incentives"" Subtle Hint (aka it is now 2018 and people get ad revenue is needed and they even make donations to pay sever bills for small specialty forums. Some of us actually like their ads because of retailers shown. Although that is very limited due to website and actual advertiser, the rest can bugger off. Being tracked and annoyed with ads does endear me to allow your defined""acceptable advertising" .
Please take a hard look at your behavior and the underhandedness of it, and reevaluate the type of person & extension you wish to be known as. Options? Ether an annoying spam ad nefarious scum(you're known by the company you keep) or the programmer(s) trying to change the internet for the better. Changing user selected settings behind the user's screen , without even a click box that is automatically check to allow crap through is even more underhanded . This is lowbrow and shows how far the mighty ABP have fallen. It was those ""acceptable ads" that made me find where Ad Block Plus has become more rogue than white hat.
So check you hat color because it is not white by any means.
The comment & facts still stands despite your protests, I really wish you would turn your behavior around, you can have acceptable ads, but tricking and underhandedly forcing users into them is not acceptable. I use to recommend and install ABP as a default for security ,safety, speed improvements from removal of ads, and making the inexperienced user's online experience one not for of crap ads. ABP was used for many friends and older people, which sadly is no longer the case. They can't leep out and remember to have to go fix their security settings, they expect that from trusted extensions which AD Block Plus is no longer trust worthy!
Might as well change your name to McAfee at this rate.... ABP is following their road living of a good name while turning crap and screwing their user base until they all learn to play whack-a-mole on every update or finally uninstall because ABP has no hope or future. Developer response

posted 7 years agoThanks for response here! I think it comes down to a matter of preference. :-)- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13279492, 7 years agoНа последние версии, старые (сохраненные) фильтры, не устанавливаются. Всё что собирал, годами, не работает.

posted 7 years agoHello there!
This is totally not true. We don't sell any user data under any circumstance at all! Find our privacy policy here https://adblockplus.org/en/privacy. If you have questions about our acceptable ads initiative you can find details on that here https://acceptableads.com. No company can pay us to have their ads unblocked. In fact, a lot of companies who's ads fall under the acceptable ad criteria don't pay us anything at all. They most certainly do not pay us for user data as we DO NOT sell it. Our goal is to contribute to a more sustainable web. Users also have the ability to turn off "allow acceptable ads" in their settings.
Thanks
