Latest reviews
- (2025-07-17) As of 7/16/25 it no longer works
- (2025-07-16) Does not work seeing ADs everywhere and it advertised itself uninstalling right now.
- (2025-07-16) I'd rate it NEGATIVE 5 stars if I could. Doesn't work, and not to mention asking $4 per month for premium. Defeats the purpose of Adblock.
- (2025-07-15) This extension doesn't work anymore. This used to be the go-to ad blocking extension, but it's actually useless now. Unreal, honestly.
- (2025-07-15) The adblock is... 'eh'. Auto turns off on youtube, gets detected incredibly easily, and allows ads through but just auto skips them. It's fine. 4/10. Wish uBlock was still alive.
- (2025-07-15) Used to be decent, now it inserts more ads than it removes. Every time I turn on a computer it has opened a new tab with its offensive ad. Now it's even inserting ads into other webpages. Absolutely despicable, and so is the level of greed. £35!? And not even once - every single year? And either it's an upgrade (to a bunch of stuff I don't want) or it's crapware that I have to upgrade to remove. Can't be both. Can't be that expensive. Can't add ads to web pages when it's literally supposed to do the opposite. What greedy scumbags.
- (2025-07-15) Stopped working a few months ago. Useless
- (2025-07-14) It blocks nothing. Its actually soooo bad.
- (2025-07-14) doesn't work
- (2025-07-14) Doesn't work on youtube and actually breaks half of the features on youtube, the autoplay button gets completely removed for some reason, the "more videos" section isn't removed like Ublock origin did, and everytime you play a video it takes a whole 5 seconds to start because it's trying to block ads but gets stuck and doesn't know what it's doing or something
- (2025-07-14) Garbage. Corrupt team. They block ads except for YouTube, even when you configure YT ads to be blocked. GOOGLE IS PAYING THEM TO PAUSE THE ADBLOCK JUST FOR YT. Disgraceful.
- (2025-07-14) Doesn't block ads on Youtube. Scam. Uninstalled instantly after it stopped working.
- (2025-07-14) scam extension. does not block anything and tries to sell premium services
- (2025-07-12) doesn't block ads that take you to a new window when you click something on the original page
- (2025-07-12) Works awesome on youtube. No ads. Sometimes don´t start, but if click on refresh, it starts and blocks every ads.
- (2025-07-12) Been using it for last 6 yrs. Amazing Product.
- (2025-07-11) Does not block YouTube ads. I am forced to watch 5 mins of them with no option to skip.
- (2025-07-11) sometimes it doesnt block all the ads but i barely even notice it, it doesn't happen often. Ever since Youtube started preventing ad blockers, this is definitely the best ad blocker that ive tried.
- (2025-07-11) Doesn't even block all the ads. Its 1 function it cant even do that.
- (2025-07-11) DONOT WORK AT ALL
- (2025-07-11) This extension modifies links in the sponsored products row of google search and redirects you to very suspicious pages, instead of the listed store.
- (2025-07-11) Doesn't work, still have ads
- (2025-07-11) It has become an ad in and of itself. That's ridiculous. A popup page multiple times a week to ask me to purchase premium isn't how you get premium members, it's how you get a 1 star rating. Cool off with the aggressive sales tactics, it's annoying.
- (2025-07-11) Terrible service, basically forces you to pay or just replaces ads with more of their own. Also, it doesn't even work covertly meaning youtube instantly detects it. Total rubbish, it made me so annoyed I actually took the time to write this review so hopefully you don't waste your time downloading this steaming pile of ***
- (2025-07-11) stopped working entirely on youtube...
- (2025-07-10) I'm loving this AdBlock extension.
- (2025-07-09) doesnt work on all ads and its causing me trouble
- (2025-07-09) 100% works
- (2025-07-09) I used to love it when it was free, however they then had a sort of "pay what you can" premium... after that it stopped working. i just uninstalled.
- (2025-07-07) Great
- (2025-07-07) I would have given this a 5 star before, but within the past couple weeks stopped blocking ads on FB and it's super annoying! It's nothing but ads....I am looking for another ad blocker. Why would I buy a premium version when this doesn't even work on a simple task like FB ads?
- (2025-07-06) Its a very bumpy road with Youtube but tho with other websites its amazing as no ads have appeared. Would recommend 👍🏽
- (2025-07-05) yea this stopped working on yt for some reason but while it was working it was good
- (2025-07-05) Thank you!
- (2025-07-04) everytime i try and open a youtube video is pauses itself and i have to unpause it, why? this is the worst feature a adblocker could have
- (2025-07-04) it is not working on Youtube!!!!!!! it is so annoying
- (2025-07-03) Followed instructions and enabled the experimental rules and everything was fine. Took a nap, and two hours later that doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately, this extension keeps reverting to different settings and does not really work for video ads at the moment. Currently it doesn't block ads on desktop, but unnamed video website breaks and I can't add videos to playlist or see live stream chat boxes. It's been messed up since yesterday for me. If I manage to skip an ad, it keeps trying to interrupt the video.
- (2025-07-03) VERY USEFUL BUT 1 IN 80 TIMES GIVES AD
- (2025-07-02) very very good
- (2025-07-01) Adblock stop working on youtube again just now!
- (2025-07-01) display annoying "block cookies now" window, and cannot close.
- (2025-06-29) One of the best plugins from the early days of the internet. That said, if I wanted to spend 5 minutes tweaking the plugins and refreshing pages every time I'm on Youtube, I wouldn't get an ad blocker. Also, the donation prompts are becoming way too frequent, interrupting my work flow.
- (2025-06-28) Very good!
- (2025-06-28) no longer working
- (2025-06-28) Stop letting youtube disable my adblocker
- (2025-06-27) Top!!
- (2025-06-26) Still working properly...Amazing!!
- (2025-06-26) Absolute trash. Doesn't block ads and keeps interrupting my screen with "we've blocked _____ ads for you! please buy premium here" get ublock origin lite or smt
- (2025-06-26) While it was good. It kept harassin' me with "Buy our Premium subscription!" and it got annoyin'. Until they stop with it I would recommend gettin' a different AdBlock
- (2025-06-26) problem description. 1. youtube. the youtube timer (example, 05:00 footage) once clicked, without any response (it suppose would trigger youtube video clip skip to the specified timer footage. after turn off this extension, it works. thus, have to turn off this extension in order to troubleshoot. 2. extension turn on. 2.1 youtube video clip would reset to beginning footage. if turn off extension, video would resume from last seen timer (which is nice). 2.2 looks flickering screen page while loading page youtube. can admin fix this bug ?
