- Rated 1 out of 5by WebMaster, 7 years agoFrom version 3 is really a SHAME:
- no more user friendly iinterface
- no more "disable/enable for all site" (also with middle-click)
- no more filter proper working!
- no more "open blockable elements" option
- etc
---
Dalla versione 3 è una VERGOGNA! Sono state tolte alcune funzionalità ESSENZIALI come l'abilita/disabilita per tutti i siti (click centrale del mouse sull'icona) e il "mostra elementi bloccabili".
Così FA SCHIFO: è un passo indietro nonché una VERGOGNA!!!!!Developer response
posted 7 years agoHello!
Thanks for your Feedback! Our developers are working on addressing user pain points as we speak. You can still disable Adblock Plus 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. Also, The list of blocked and blockable ABP items are in developer tools.
How to get there:
Hit F12 and click on the "Adblock Plus" tab
or
Go to Menu > Developer Tools > Web Console and then click on "Adblock Plus" tab.
We are more than happy to further troubleshoot with you. Reach us at support@adblockplus.org. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12962480, 7 years agoTotally useless. Element blocking does not work. Either that or it's just not user friendly. Either way, I hate it.

Thanks for reaching out to us with your Feedback! We are working on correcting issues with our Block Element feature. We are more than happy to troubleshoot with you further, reach us at support@adblockplus.org. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13525205, 7 years agothe subpar chrome based adblock extension now ported to the now chromifiedFOX 57+, so I suggest replace it with uBlock.
But if you want the functionality of "gecko" based ABP, use Firefox ESR 52 w/c will still be updated till next year. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13520460, 7 years agoIt's awful and useless now that the interface was "upgraded." You no longer have control of how you want your webpages to look or what plays or pops up on your computer. I have no idea what they were thinking. But for now my advice would be to NOT install it. It's garbage.
PS: After years of happy use, I'm now uninstalling this POS.Developer response

Thanks for reaching out with your feedback! Our developers are working on addressing user pain points. The change came about due to Firefox updating its extension engine, prompting us to update as well. We'd be happy to further troubleshoot with you at support@Adblockplus.org. - Rated 1 out of 5by Yaku, 7 years agoIt used to be good, now it's just useless. Rolled back to version 2.9.

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12979544, 7 years agoThey ruined the ui and functionality. The ui is so bad it just gets in your way.
And they even flag negative reviews that don't break any rules to maintain the 5 star rating! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13336103, 7 years agohow can i add script?

I will roll back 2.9.1

- Rated 1 out of 5by ShatteredCrest, 7 years agoThe newest version of ABP has removed the CTRL-SHIFT-F3 accessibility, and replaced it with an inability to add new filters. Can't say that I'm happy about that. I'm now in the market for a replacement.

Now, blocking custom elements just highlights them in a pink box while still loading them. Unsure sure how that's considered useful, because it's not. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12881318, 7 years agoadblock plus started taking money and white-listing ad detectors unilaterally. These are allowed even when you block. Selling trust of users for money and violating sole purpose of extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13479661, 7 years agopreferivo la grafica della versione 2.9.1 anche perche permtteva non solo di disattivare adblock per 1 pagina , ma anche di disattivarlo temporaneamente per ttte le pag ...funzione che adesso non c'è ....
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13000085, 7 years agoThe new version is not longer usable for me! It is now a very poor ad-on.
I understand that this is now because of the stupid changes in Firefox 57.x.
But I use FF 52.x ESR an ABP updatet self without reason. I want the old version back!
I never will update to stupid FF 57.x or more because some extensions I need don't work any longer. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12231374, 7 years agoThe right click menu no longer works at all.
I can no longer "Temporarily allow"
The "F12" work around instructions for this remind me of trying to get the rabbit ears antenna on a black and white tv to work. "Wrap some tinfoil around the right antenna, grab the left with your hand and lift one foot in the air and it should work." Geez!
As far as I am concerned, until the right click menu works like it did before this "update", this extension is broken.
The developers of Firefox have totally screwed the add on devs. From what I have read, this extension needs to be completely re-written in order to function with the new FF the way it did with the old.
Here is a tip: If you don't re-write it someone else will and this extension will die. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13474255, 7 years ago用了多年的ADBLOCK,現在卻不能自訂條件,只能任由資料庫組檔廣告,功能變的太陽春,會尋找其它外掛使用
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13026103, 7 years agoWas favorite adblocker for years. Stopped for a while and tried ublock origin. Found that ublock origin didn't keep stats of blocked URLs like ABP did. So went back to ABP only to find that it no longer keeps stats and has been substantially dumbed down from the level of control it used to have. Right now neither adblocker gives me the information or level or control that I am accustomed to.
I guess I will switch to ublock origin as ABP lost all my filters and stats and doesn't have near the filters available anymore. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10875342, 7 years agoNewest version has less features + broken features. And the control interface looks damn ugly, like its meant for mobile phones not for desktop browsers. Either use an older better version or get some other adblocker.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12235646, 7 years agoReally bad since 3.0! One of the most useful features "blockable items" has been deleted! How much did
the new "sponsor" Burda pay for it? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13471883, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Smarc, 7 years agoUpdated the extension to latest version and got confused if I switched to Chrome somehow - same handicapped UI that the extensions has there :/ No way to see what exactly has been blocked or what could be blocked (open block-able items) - instead I have a "nice and truly needed" (not!) feature of sharing the number of items blocked in the social media sites! A feature that is apparently so important that it's placed so that You will hit it by accident most likely :/ Switched back to old version almost immediately - as I haven't switched to Firefox 57 yet.
Have been using and enjoining the extension for many years though - thanks for the authors :) I just hoped that at least some extensions ported to WebExtensions would remain usable :/ All-in-all, blame goes to Mozilla I suppose. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13466681, 7 years agoFirefox updated to 57 and now nothing work. In addons it say Adblock Plus is enabled but it is not blocking anything. Also there is no icon for Adblock plus anywhere to be found.
Who to blame? Addons or Firefox 57? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13456552, 7 years agoWhere the hell is gone show blockable items. no addons for firefox should be like "plug and play" we should customize as we wanted.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13464414, 7 years agoIt stopped working with Firefox 57. I switched to AdBlock for Firefox
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13462890, 7 years agoНовая версия полный шлак,сначало даже не понял почему жутко тормозит браузер.Снес ваше дополнение на фиг,со старой версией не стал заморачиваться и поставил uBlock Origin ,чего и другим советую-всё блочится отлично,браузер просто летает.Вы господа решили наверное что кроме вас и годных продуктов больше никто не делает?,так не так это.Когда то Adblock Plus был лучшим,видимо пришло время с ним попрощаться,может впредь думать будите прежде чем такие обновы ставить.
