(2025-08-28) It is very distracting to have random tabs open as advertisements for Adblock Plus. That is not only hypocritical on the part of the extension's developers, but it is a huge workflow disruption as well. I would accept something much more understated that does NOT open a separate tab and does NOT interrupt the work I'm doing in the browser (e.g., critical reading). The current behavior of interrupting is THE reason I will not donate to the plug-in's developers. If they correct course, would consider donating in the future.
(2025-08-28) premium pop-up？get out from my chrome
(2025-08-27) Adblock Plus used to be good. Now they just bow down to Google Chrome and lick their boots. Doesn't even do a good job at blocking ads. And they want money for premium service? Get out of here. uBlock Origin was the supreme adblocker and they took that away from us (on Chrome). Adblock Plus does not even deserve to be in uBlock Origin's shadow. Nowhere close to the same league.
(2025-08-27) STOP OPENING A NEW TAB EVERYTIME I OPEN MY BROWSER
(2025-08-27) very good
(2025-08-27) Suddenly doesn't work. What happened? Shows "Uh oh! Something went wrong. Please try again."
(2025-08-26) Some ads doesn't removed
(2025-08-26) LIES!!! It's not free. That's false advertising. Don't fall for the scam. There's still a monthly and yearly pay. The sociopathic system is trying to trick you, don't let them. They hardly give anything free anymore.
(2025-08-26) Satisfied with the good performance for years, thank you. Now, however, there are large pink blocks where ads are blocked. How could anyone think this a good idea? It's as annoying as the ads or more so. I turn it off sometimes now.
(2025-08-26) Removes all of the side ads but still shows add on youtube unless you refresh the page
(2025-08-25) This add on gave me a pop up. I didn't like that, but humored it. It lead me to a page that detailed how to stay safe on the internet, and what ads were most suspect. They are protecting people and educating people. 5 stars.
(2025-08-25) Claims to block ads but rarely works. Google claimed it worked for amazong prime ad spam, it doesn't.
(2025-08-25) worked at first.... Now it just asks me for money for ads it doesn't block.
(2025-08-24) SO, SO
(2025-08-24) its good but why is it asking to pay cus no one gonna pay at all
(2025-08-23) Had to disable Adblock extension in Chrome (Version 139.0.7258.139 (Official Build) (64-bit)) to get through login to Facebook. While Adblock extension is active, Notification menu hangs and refuses to load for Facebook.
(2025-08-22) missing tons of ads
(2025-08-22) not blocking ads
(2025-08-22) works perfect
(2025-08-22) aint free
(2025-08-22) JUST installed it and immediately I get an ad from your own service to "consider upgrading to Premium". Don't you think it is very hypocritical to occassionally interject something someone's doing that may be important with your OWN ad when your purpose is to be a adblocker first and foremost?
(2025-08-21) TOP
(2025-08-21) not working ...looks like scam
(2025-08-20) Annoying
(2025-08-18) can no longer block youtube adds on Google Chrome browser.
(2025-08-18) had it two days and is not working showing ads including their own, like every two minutes
(2025-08-18) Its good
(2025-08-18) ts has stopped working on youtube
(2025-08-18) BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.........
(2025-08-17) It is very good . After I installed it all my ADS were gone . Excellent
(2025-08-17) nice
(2025-08-17) Does not work on Youtube anymore.
(2025-08-17) doesnt work on yt as of august 2025
(2025-08-16) I'm very grateful for what this extension has done over the years, but it has become nearly useless on YouTube. If there is no fix in sight it's time to say so with honesty and integrity (and please stop replying with a link to "steps" you know won't work).
(2025-08-16) Does not block anything on youtube anymore
(2025-08-16) I'm swimming in pool of ads everywhere.
(2025-08-15) does not block anything anymore....
(2025-08-15) really good extension blocks all ads it blocked 1500 and for me
(2025-08-14) Seems to actually block ads, but the constant requesting for donations in a new tab every time I open my browser is annoying and there is no option to turn it off. Can't disable the extension's ability to open a new tab. can't set the url as an ad that needs blocking. the settings offer no way to disable it either. I've kept abp installed for years and I'm finally fed up with it. It's annoying as hell and distracts me from what I opened my browser for in the first place (which, most definitely, wasn't to pay for ad blocking. I might as well reinstall ublock because it actually blocks ALL ads for FREE and it's not even supported anymore. You know what? I was gonna go two stars, but now I'm going one. I hope google is paying them well to annoy their users.
(2025-08-14) I have paid for adblock plus yet keep getting popup ads from adblock plus to sign up for adblock plus.! Very annoying. I have requested a refund.
(2025-08-14) very great blocks every ad
(2025-08-14) Keeps turning itself off when watching youtube. Useless
(2025-08-14) i need dark mode
(2025-08-11) It sucks! It is supposed to block ads yet everytime that I click a video on you tube an add begins to play until I able able to click "SKIP"!!!
(2025-08-08) Works perfectly, even on YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube catches up and reverses it, making you have to watch the ads.
(2025-08-07) Works everywhere but Youtube - I either end up with a grey screen on youtube videos that says "Error 4 this video cannot be found" (which goes away when you disable ABP on youtube), or it just lets the ads play. In the past, it worked fine on Youtube. I think they are just one step ahead and preventing ABPs system from working on YT. YT aside, great extension that does exactly what it promises - even with the free version. No annoying, obnoxious ads. Hopefully someday it'll even block those annoying payware blockers on news articles.
(2025-08-07) you said it was free 🙄🙄🙄
(2025-08-07) Complete waste of time
(2025-08-06) Thank you to the Adblock Plus team! Thanks to you, my already exhausted mind gets a break from aggressive online ads.
(2025-08-06) Have had this extension for years, across multiple devices. Works perfectly, though lately Youtube has been able to by-pass sometimes. Won't stop me from using this extension though
