Latest reviews
- (2025-08-01) Getting full length, unskippable ads in Youtube with the banners.
- (2025-07-31) Doesn't block ads and creates annoying pop ups that tell me to pay for a subscription. Hell no fellas, there are way better options that are also free! Bye bye! Get the "uBlock Origin Lite" extension, it is fantastic.
- (2025-07-31) well even tho it looks real im gonna be honest it dosent work on my youtube for some reason
- (2025-07-31) OK
- (2025-07-31) Does not seem to work at all
- (2025-07-31) Blocks adds on gmail, exactly what I wanted :) (I have small desires)
- (2025-07-30) Oddly, seems to block ads on one computer, but not on the other on YouTube. On one computer I have a little bar under the video that notes "blocking ads" but on the other computer this is absent and I get ads. I have the extension configured the same way for both, and both are in the same version of Chrome. Odd issue.
- (2025-07-29) Does not block ads.
- (2025-07-28) Causes Vivaldi browser to run very slow and become very laggy.
- (2025-07-28) It often gets stuck in a loop skipping YT shorts, even when they aren't ads. Forces me to close the tab to get it to stop.
- (2025-07-27) Doesn't block all popups
- (2025-07-27) 10 out of 10
- (2025-07-27) This gets 3 A's- Absolutely Amazingly Awesome!!! it works perfectly fine with all sites and i haven't had a single problem using it except for the fact that sometimes YouTube blabs to me about "AdBlock=bad" and trying to force me to get premium but still 5 stars for sure!
- (2025-07-27) sometimes there's a bug in youtube shorts that skips 2 video after successfully blocked the advertisement
- (2025-07-26) Very annoying, adblocker keeps nagging, now again about distraction, the app itself is becoming a distraction.
- (2025-07-25) It blocks ads I guess. In the last year or so they have started really aggressively opening a new browser tab telling you to purchase a subscription - like almost every time you open a browser it pops up an ad. It's so disruptive and annoying that you have to assume they simply want to push anyone not buying a subscription off using the extension entirely.
- (2025-07-24) Don't work reliably
- (2025-07-24) i'm getting more distractions and popups from this addon then getting from ads. As an ad blocker it should not show me any pop ups and opening a new tab to show any kind of content to me even if it's not ads. The whole purpose of ad blockers is so we don't get any pop ups and ads.
- (2025-07-24) Stopped working with YouTube ads around a few months ago. Will try another blockersi guess. I guess they were paid well by youtube for that. Maybe it's not fare to set 1 star but there is no point in blocker for me if it is not working for a youtube
- (2025-07-23) It is not working on youtube since last few days. Youtube is repeatedly giving warning to stop adblocking and only then the videos will play.
- (2025-07-23) could be better, skips ads sometimes but blocks the skip button for the ads it doesn't skip, and when you're scrolling through youtube shorts and you get and ad, it'll skip past it automatically but sometimes it skips through as many videos until you re-open youtube/chrome.
- (2025-07-23) why does Adblocker open a new tab telling me to download adblock.... which I already have?? it's getting pretty annoying. How often it opens a new tab, has been getting worse every month. I'm currently looking around for a new ad blocker
- (2025-07-23) WORSE ADBLOCKER . DONT DOWNLOAD THIS.
- (2025-07-22) It worked great for the year that i had it, but like a week ago it just stopped working on every site that I visit. it went from the best ad blocker to the worst!
- (2025-07-22) Doesn't work for youtube...completely useless
- (2025-07-22) doesnt work for youtube. can't rate 0 stars.
- (2025-07-22) I've used AdBlock for quite some time now and have been happy with it. But, a few weeks ago, AdBlock started showing it's own ads (e.g. for AdBlock VPN). Still wouldn't mind that. But unfortunately the buttons in the ad are not working so that you can neither close them nor check the offer. Completely useless except for annoying customers. Bug report failed too, by the way. If that doesn't improve soon, I need to find a new AdBlock.
- (2025-07-22) Youtube is somehow pausing it, you get an ad warning on youtube and the AdBlock icon changes
- (2025-07-21) 1 star because adds still come through the whole point of a ad blocker is to block all ads
- (2025-07-21) pretty useless compared to ublock
- (2025-07-20) Is there a way to automate that this app unpauses itself when sites like YT force it to pause? If so, the 5star review is even more deserved, 'cos this app's been great for the however long it's been that I've been using it.
- (2025-07-20) Doesn't work properly anymore. Misses many classic ads that were successfully blocked before. Constantly resores checkbox for ads exceptions. Deleting it.
- (2025-07-20) Bad app spammy
- (2025-07-20) last year it worked great but the last like 7 months or so its been absolute garbage its been turning itself off like every 10 or so minutes wich is annoying it has not been blocking ads on youtube or any other site at all even do i have it on all the time blocking all ads so unles they fix this i would not recomend it anymore...
- (2025-07-20) Doesnt work at all
- (2025-07-20) Not worth the time just to have it magically have to be completely readjusted every couple days. Opening a support ticket didn't lead to any resolution, just more aggravation that they have a paid premium just to pay people to reply to bad reviews instead of helping keep the extension updated with chrome and working as intended. uBlock was a much better adblock while it was around. Settings screen is also completely useless as half the time it wont load to let you fix anything.
- (2025-07-18) this is terrible, it turns off every 5 seconds
- (2025-07-17) its amazing.
- (2025-07-17) After little customization, come back to life! Goodbye ads...
- (2025-07-17) The amount of people pooping on the extension right now just because it's facing problems and changes from Chrome is disgusting. When they clearly used it for years. Feels like watching a bunch of crybabies whining. Ungrateful bastards.
- (2025-07-17) good
- (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
