- (2025-09-13) Magnificent extension from Day 1. Has always gotten the job done!
- (2025-09-13) It slowly started to stop working; it was great at first, but after a little while, it started to show ads again. I do not recommend it.
- (2025-09-13) good job thx you bro
- (2025-09-12) When I do a Google search in Chrome's incognito mode, I always get the text "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot". Except if I change "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit" to "On click".
- (2025-09-12) Why isn't your extension working on the ARC browser? It's showing ads on YouTube
- (2025-09-10) youre so incredible for replying to every single review lol i appreciate the effort and wish u the best
- (2025-09-09) literally doesnt do anything. about as useful as a parental advisory sticker on a cannibal corpse album
- (2025-09-08) it has its own ads
- (2025-09-07) $900 per year subscription? $90 per month? Are you crazy? In my country that's 30% of my salary.
- (2025-09-06) It doesn't block all ads from most sites and I use youtube a lot it doesn't block the ads unless I click the reload button on the site which gets really annoying sometimes it is still the only one I know of bc pie is not that great. :/
- (2025-09-05) TLDR: 2 stars for nostalgia since I have been using AdBlock for over 10 years but is easily replaced by better extensions. Main issues: 1) It doesnt do a very good job blocking ads. There are some sites like Kijiji that you cant tell that adblock is installed. 2) Constant ads from adblock about how many ads have been blocked. It still does this even if you pay for it. 3) There are other adblock extensions that do a better job for free without pandering for money. I started using uBlock Origin Lite so far it does a much much better job out of the box and can be customized far more than adblock. See below for "Kat C" copy paste dribble (personally hoping for "Please open a ticket with us") Upvote this comment if I get it right.
- (2025-09-05) Its ok for most websites working like charm and blocking ads
- (2025-09-03) This Ad Blocker keeps giving me ads to give money.
- (2025-09-02) does not work on linkedin add. it shoudl hide linkedin adds also.
- (2025-08-31) I love your add block carry it on...
- (2025-08-31) It worked for just a few days
- (2025-08-31) doesnt work
- (2025-08-31) It doesn't work when i go on Youtube
- (2025-08-31) not working
- (2025-08-30) I am very pleased with the Adblock extension .
- (2025-08-29) great!
- (2025-08-29) best ad block ever
- (2025-08-26) doesn't work on dope box
- (2025-08-25) used to work well back when i first downloaded years ago. whether it's adapting for a newer version of chrome (pretty sure i'm up to date) or they haven't kept up youtube's own updates, it is showing ads unless you refresh....and you watch the enitre video through.
- (2025-08-25) It is doing the exact opposite of blocking adverts. Now the YT adverts not only show, but the skip button has been removed when the plugin is enabled. Waste of time or a bad update version?
- (2025-08-25) it no longer works on youtube
- (2025-08-24) this is honestly so fire, it removes all ads, blocks and unclicks from the ad sites, its just perfect, no problems yet
- (2025-08-24) Not working for a several weeks, before that worked grate
- (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
