(2025-07-06) keeps disabling itself + constantly begs for money
(2025-07-05) it works on my devices that i installed this on long ago but it keeps disabling itself on newer devices. I suspect youtube is to blame
(2025-07-05) Seems to work, BUT it won't allow you to bypass it so I lose a lot of internet functionality. On those sites that require adblockers be disabled, the ABP drop down menu doesn't function...EVER! on multiple different branded computers, different OS, different ISP. The old adblock worked well which is why I continued when Plus was launched but maybe not for much longer.
(2025-07-05) It seems to work just fine...it says it has blocked 200k ads...seems like a lot but i'm not complaining
(2025-07-05) keeps disabling itself
(2025-07-05) people will naturally complain it is in their blood, this is actually an incredible tool provided for free with the option of having additional security for a small monthly fee that's cheaper than the snacks some of these idiots purchase daily. Keep up the good work and disregard the poor souls who cant afford a meager 4 quid a month for a service that benefits them.
(2025-07-04) Used to be amazing but now they demand payment to block nearly anything. It's better than nothing but I'm looking for an alternative
(2025-07-04) Says "Free" ad blocker in the title, then you install it to try it out and it asks you for £35 per years or £3.50 per month. Maybe my understanding of free is wrong. In that case, can someone explain what is actually free? (my time perhaps?)
(2025-07-03) I LOVE THIS ADBLOCKER
(2025-07-03) good
(2025-07-03) Now you're insert an annoying orage color into the webpages that is as bad as the adds you dont block You are just making the extention useless
(2025-07-03) Used to be good, now, there is no difference if its on or off, ads are all over, on every site.
(2025-07-02) Great extension to Chrome. ADP works in the background stopping popups all the time great little piece of software.
(2025-07-02) Brilliant!
(2025-07-02) Stopped working correctly - turns itself off on some sites now. I think they are doing scammy stuff now after years to make sure you have to buy the premium product.
(2025-07-02) Great chrome extension, blocks most pesky youtube ads! Great job whoever made this lol.
(2025-07-01) DO NOT USE IT! It only works partly! This is total garbage and is only used because it USED to be good (I used to use this alot) and is just popular, but now its time to stop, this thing has REALLY gotten much worse in 2025. This thing is more like a ad-blocker lite lite, it somewhat works but DOES NOT WORK ON YOUTUBE as it auto-adds youtube to its whitelist. use "ublock origin" lite, much more consistent than this once good thing.
(2025-06-30) Have to uninstall and reinstall every few days because it stops working. Now it doesn't block youtube ads at all, but it does remove the "skip ad" button
(2025-06-30) Had this for years. They have blocked so many ads for me. I think they are great. I used to be bombarded with ads.
(2025-06-30) Just paid for a subscription so how long before it begins to work ? Currently bdeing bombarded with Ads from McAfee
(2025-06-29) Functionality is generally good but it defaults to allowing "acceptable" ads (there is no such thing) and it opens a page every few days nagging me to subscribe to Premium, when I already have a Premium subscription. Also as far as I can tell the "block cookie consent" feature effectively accepts the default in the cookie popup, which is the exact opposite of what you want - especially when it comes to the "legitimate interest" lie.
(2025-06-29) the ad bloaker doesent block its own ads
(2025-06-28) this program shows me more ads trying to get me to upgrade now than it prevents from popping up.
(2025-06-28) Very good!
(2025-06-27) I don't know what ads this AD-blocker is actually preventing me to see, but it is literally an ad and every time I reopen my computer it pops up and says I should buy the next level of AD-blocker.
(2025-06-27) love it
(2025-06-27) A powerful little tool. :)
(2025-06-27) i feel so guilty when yall ask for a contribution because this app is brilliant and its working without taking anything from me but its a genius app istg
(2025-06-26) I get more ads from the extension than ads that it blocks.
(2025-06-26) You guys work hard to combat YouTube. I'm more here to just notify you that YouTube is now trying to prevent videos from playing at all and show a message on the video that says "sign in to confirm you're not a bot". They also force your ad block to shut off and make the play button disappear. I often just have to refresh with the ad block app, but it seems like YouTube is getting worse about it.
(2025-06-25) Your modal ad blocker has made it impossible to use the app named "The Street." There is no opportunity to refresh the screen after changing the setting to remove the Ad Block. Worse. There is no way to return to the application except by closing the app. That makes it impossible to use. What is the problem?
(2025-06-25) I'm happy with the extension overall, but I'm writing as a support ticket. Yesterday it stopped correctly block youtube ads. It looks like youtube recognizes that their ad has been blocked and stops playing video until you disable the extension. Can patch it?
(2025-06-24) thank you for protecting me against annoying ads <3
(2025-06-24) Worked well, but recently its now disabling adblock plus on ads while on youtube, since the last week or so (June 2025), youtube appears to be blocking videos with adblock enabled. It says you need to sign in to confirm you are not a bot, but I am already signed in. When I updated Adblock plus, it goes away for a while, then I get the same issue again. If I turn off adblock plus, the videos play as normal, once I turn adblock plus back on, problem comes back.
(2025-06-24) Blocks some adds, disables itself on some websites for no reason. Constantly prompts you to buy a paid subscription.
(2025-06-24) if blocked popups 5 stars
(2025-06-23) Blocks ads, but constant pop ups of their own ads promoting premium. Irony :)
(2025-06-23) Yup. Good stuff.
(2025-06-23) working perfect always update and try to block ad whenever youtube change algorithm team consistently working for new ways to block ads which is very impressive
(2025-06-23) Blocks every add on every app I
(2025-06-21) ok
(2025-06-21) Youtube is turning off my ad blocker, and it doesnt block ads on my video. And when it does, youtube just stops me from watching the video. How do i fix this?
(2025-06-21) Great app !
(2025-06-20) This app now constantly forces pop up ads trying to get me to pay for Premium but doesn't actually block actually ads anymore. Or it will block one ad then get shut off automatically until I turn it back on. If the free option doesn't work then I can't see why I'm not going to trust the paid version. I certainly should not be getting pop up ads directly from the app designed to block pop ups ads.
(2025-06-20) Doesn't work... which is weird considering it has 4 stars...
(2025-06-20) This used to be a very good app, but recently the developers have instigated annoying pop-ups trying to get users to upgrade to premium. I guess that they need lunch money. This app used to be about blocking this type of annoyances. It seems that now the developers are demanding a paycheck for using Adblock Plus. If that's how they want to play the game, then I and the rest of us who are just as annoyed as I am will find another app that does the very same thing, but doesn't bug us to upgrade. Bye Bye Adblock Plus (or should that be Adblock Minus)
(2025-06-20) Great extension—ever since I installed it, all the ads on YouTube have disappeared
(2025-06-20) When I turn Adblock Plus to block all the ads in the video that I am watching, it still blocks but after that it stops. How can I block more ads with Adblock Plus ?
(2025-06-20) This is a great extension—ever since I installed it, all the ads on YouTube have completely disappeared.
(2025-06-19) Youtube is disabling the extension by itself.
