- (2025-08-23) completely stopped working.
- (2025-08-23) i have tried it 3 times over the course of the last year and it hasnt worked
- (2025-08-23) It was great for years but now I damn near every time I open chrome it decides to open a new tab and start trying to sell me the premium. Defeats the purpose of an adblocker.
- (2025-08-22) Worked very well quite a long time, but now it's totally failed to hold ads.
- (2025-08-22) Works fine, but no longer blocks Twitch Ads.
- (2025-08-21) how do I communicate with you to complain that I have all of these antivirus ads coming through that you have failed to block?
- (2025-08-21) Randomly opens up pop-ups to ask you to buy the paid version / plan. This is the opposite of what an AdBlocker should do.
- (2025-08-21) do not work
- (2025-08-20) Would be 5 stars if I didn't need an ad blocker to block AdBlock from opening a new tab to try to sell me the Premium adblock.. You've become what you promised to eliminate...
- (2025-08-20) you opened a tab to update while i was playing snake game and you made me lose
- (2025-08-20) Works fine but I don't need a damn new tab opening randomly for a thank you message every other hour, it gets more annoying than actually getting ads. You block ads, great. I don't need to know how many damn ads that has been blocked
- (2025-08-20) The days of blocking AND skipping YouTube ads is over.
- (2025-08-20) not working at all
- (2025-08-20) best ad block.
- (2025-08-19) This is actully an amazing extension the developer of this deserves an award
- (2025-08-19) I've been using AdBlock for years now and I have NO complaints! Advertisements are torture for me, so I wouldn't be able to handle using the internet without this awesome tool. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. THANK YOU AdBlock!!! (I'm getting ready to check out TOTAL AdBlock for Android because my phone has become practically unusable for the sudden explosion of ads. I don't think that's free but hopefully the cost will be reasonable).
- (2025-08-19) Sometimes it works, and other times it makes youtube ads unskippable. Not sure what deal they worked out with YT, but it's annoying.
- (2025-08-19) works pretty well with most ads on yt. couple annoying parts like 1. having to disable the ad blocker on certain websites like citation machine (not the adblockers fault, just the website not liking their ads blocked), and 2. yt has started to update its ads so certain ads wont get blocked and you can't refresh the page to get the adblocker to work again bc you'll just get another wonderful ad!
- (2025-08-18) How many times do I need to whitelist selected websites? It only remembers them for a day or two and requires pausing again, it can't be that hard to code a text file with whitelisted domains, can it? Add the annoying pop-ups nagging to pay for premium and I uninstalled it after a few weeks.
- (2025-08-17) I just wanted to test if it was legit, and as soon as I installed it my screen went black and froze for a few seconds.. Nice try, but some of ain't this stupid and desperate 😂 Just pay for Premium you cheapskates or enjoy your malware
- (2025-08-16) nice much needed in today world
- (2025-08-15) best thing to exist
- (2025-08-15) Though it worked for a very long time, it stopped working and now it is more annoying than the ads that it blocks. I'm expecting a fix as soon as possible!
- (2025-08-15) Doesn't block all ads, and this extention is more annoying than the ads it does block.
- (2025-08-14) Blocks Ad's, but on youtube it just breaks and autoscrolls for eternity, fix the problem. It was fine until i needed to update it
- (2025-08-14) Best
- (2025-08-14) it is not blocking adds
- (2025-08-12) Been using adblock a long time. It works, usually. But this morning I woke up to a $40 hit on my paypal from "paddle.com" whatever the heck that is. They told me it was related to adblockinc. I never authorized this transaction. So sadly I will stop using this extension because I don't trust it anymore. I'm guessing it authorized itself? I don't know.
- (2025-08-11) Every time i open my chrome, it prompts me to pay them
- (2025-08-11) Uninstalled. Sure it could block ads, but by doing so it become an ad itself. Every time I open chrome their site comes up asking me to get premium.. It became the very thing I was trying to block.
- (2025-08-09) Just doesn't block ads on YouTube keeps whitelisting itself.
- (2025-08-08) As a teacher I can't stand unskippable ads and I find it intrusive that YouTube is working to actively stop people from trying to use ad blockers. Most ads are extremely inappropriate and extremeley distracting for Elementary students. Like, YouTube is only about money now not about actually having a convenient site to share educational stuff
- (2025-08-08) TOP
- (2025-08-07) NICE APP
- (2025-08-06) This adblocker literally opens a popup tab occasionally asking you to pay for it. The irony is palpable. Don't use this adblocker
- (2025-08-05) UBlock Origin Lite is the best of the MV3 blockers.
- (2025-08-05) uBlock Origin Lite just domolishes adBlock now
- (2025-08-05) Unfortunately YouTube cracked down on it and it doesn't work anymore.
- (2025-08-04) horrible and buggy
- (2025-08-03) Most of the websites recognizes it. Also app doesn't block pop up tabs to open.
- (2025-08-03) barely blocks anything at least recently.
- (2025-08-02) this AdBlock kinda sucks, only seems to block maybe 40% of ads
- (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.
