Reviews & Comments of Adblock Plus - free ad blocker chrome extension

This extension no longer works on my computer.

good

Fantastic extension for blocking ads and other annoying website addons. If you're tired of ads getting in the way, interrupting, or just in general, give this extension a try.

Its very helpful and gets rid of intrusive ads. McLovin' It.

Please prevent sponsored ads and suggested ads!! Sick of them every other post on facebook!! I emailed you to say this, responce asked for filter settings and somthing else. No idea what that even is!! Fix this and ill donate, so tired of it!!!!!!!!

great

I love this extension. Computers are basically unusable without it lol.

2017 it worked so well for me I forgot it was there. I've used it for years, never had a problem. Using a person's computer that doesn't have it, that's a problem. 2023, 6 years later and still the best.

Now this app shows ads for it's premium service. This is opposite to what adblockers are for. This used to work great, but the developers need to have a reality check about whether an adblocker is supposed to show ads.

to bad now not all ads can be blocked with apps, so disappointing

not working on twitch

very good for free movie websites and youtube

I really enjoy the added security of ABP, there are some sites that are impossible to visit without Adblock Plus. Overall it does a great job although there are times when the "block element" attribute doesn't work, but overall well worth getting ;?)

constant nagging to donate or buy their ad block premium

this is the only thing that has kept me remotely sane on the internet for the past few years. this and wikipedia are the only things i give money to and for good reason. thanks for keeping the internet tolerable <3

IT'S GOOD WORKING

i louth ads. this app makes browsing less stressful. no interuptions.

You make my life better and less stressful. Thank you for your hard work.

Hi Guys. I am a huge advocate of supporting teams like you guys who create products to make our lives easier. Please keep up the excellent work! Your blocker is working great!

Been good for years.

Why does the adblocker come with its own ads? Was fine for years, but will be finding an alternative now.

it was great while it worked, sadly it no longer does.

worked really well for the first year maybe, but i noticed it stopped working for youtube so... still works i guess, just not everywhere

love it but i cant afford any donations coz times are rough. i am sorry and will stop using it if you want me to. i wish i could afford to donate. as a retiree without a pension, i am sorry. the new updated features would help me but im again sorry i cant give any money at this time.

It's been great having all the annoying ads blocked from my computer. It's a different experience being online and much more enjoyable.

Amazing!!!! Got rid of the annoying ads

I've been trying to block those moving video ads. The flickering is harmful and crazy-making. Thanks Ad Block Rocks!

I still receive a lot of ads.

BINOD

An adblocker that constantly advertises itself with pop-ups on the installed browser. Absurd doesn't even begin to describe it.

Good with blocking ads

I use it to block ads, i dont even care if a website sends me ads, but the intrusive ads is what bothers me, and this does a fine job of handling that

Best

Awesome, does a great job.

Does the Job

it ses free but it costs money

Not really because it removes ads and what if you see a game that looks cool.

It is so good and it does the job and it is free so go support them.

Adblock is an excellent extension whose value is only appreciated when using a device which doesn't have it

nice job

love it

Amazing ad blocker , it is definitely not a money grab type thing , even if you use the free version , its really bloody effective , one of the best out there. Amazing job , adblockplus.org!

Paid for premium, had premium for one session. Opened Chrome and am now being asked to donate more money. Premium is a scam.

Have used the free AdBlock for years. Its great. Have just donated and added Premium AdBlocker, so we'll see how that goes and the worth of the additions. Overall well done AdBlock guys!

good

Very effective in removing those annoying adds.

I use it for blocking ad and social media destruction parts as well.

Great ad blocker

I've been using this for a few years and it still blocks the annoying ads. Thank you.

it is excellent and very intresting extension as it never allow any ad to process in your device.

it works well i havent had any problems it is free there is a b\pop up but it is misleading you really dont have to pay for anything id suggest making the fact the contribution isnt nessacary more obvious but it is good either way

It's adblock that's free. The most important part for me is that it prevents YouTube ads. Great work team!

No longer allows me to block specific scripts. I tried and it literally would not see anything as a valid script. Will be using uBlock origin from now on. Just discovered the "Acceptable ads" check box. It does not allow ONLY acceptable ads when I get ads from lonely singles scam websites.

I have used ABP for the past 4 -5 years and it has done a fantastic job! I upgraded to Premium to stop those annoying floating video clips that play. Works great!

It'a rubbish for Zen, nothing blocked, all videos played with the ads. Useless premium rubbish.

Helped a great Deal when Free for I don't remember How Long; Glad to Contribute a Little ! The 19.99 part only flashed for me for a second & disappeared. Please Be Sure & offer me the 19.99 deal in 2023 I'm 74 now & will be 75 then & Need all the Help me & my similar aged wife can get !

Used ABP for years. Used to be great at blocking unwanted things. Gradually started blocking less and less - It's really fallen off the last year or two, it's now pretty common to see ads on pages. And now they want a recurring $ subscription to block unwanted things. So I guess this is where I draw the line. Going to uninstall and find something else.

gave me the product for free for years, so now i bought the premium. least i can do. it looks interesting with a beta versjon blocking even more. 20 bucks for one year

Have love it from the start. Simply excellent!

Great product, keep up the good work!

Just perfect

love this extenison for ad blocking

used to work perfectly, but recently its been letting pop up window ads come through.

This extension is awesome at what it does. HOWEVER, it asks for a "contribution" every time you have to re-install it or when you install it to a second browser on the same computer. This company makes it seem like it is mandatory to contribute a minimum of $5 in order to install--or re-install--the "free" product. They call it a "contribution" but that is inaccurate--it is not tax-deductible in any way, which is implied by the term "contribution." I would rather pay for an extension in an upfront and clear transaction than deal with these misleading tactics. Their support has not been responsive and I find their practices to be quite shady (more than what I've described here). I refuse to support any companies that make misleading people a core business practice. I encourage you to look elsewhere.

aLL IS WELLL

Works nice and smooth, I love it !

Amazing!

had this adblocker for a very long time . worked well , until today i noticed i was getting ads anyways . turned adblocker off and back on , went to settings and updated extensions , still got ads . uninstalled and reinstalled it , and now i have to pay for it . even though it says "free adblocker" in the name . sigh

nice adblocker for using on desktop

One of the best adblocker extensions I've ever used. I also recommend the app version on mobile

nice app

One of the best ad blockers.

amazing ad blocker

Once great, they've now added ads to notifications. Maybe bought by different people, definitely a cautionary tale in how supposedly privacy friendly services are one change of hands away from becoming privacy invasions.

Have been using this extension for years with no problem, but now all the elements I have blocked over the years are showing. After looking as to why, I realise that it's because I now have to pay a subscription to block any elements! Thanks for the warning! Really disappointed.

I've used this extension for years and it has almost always worked without paying a penny

Just downloaded this and from what I've seen and gathered, it's a pretty good extension. It works very well on sites like Easybib to block most of the annoying ads on the side, and works with YouTube ads as well. It also does seem like the developers want to keep it free, and try to communicate about any issues that arise. They also seem to care about user feedback. If my experience changes I'll change my review, but as of right now I am very satisfied

very easy to use and it works

I just learned about this extension from a friend that has been using it since it became available. Having no ads on videos is a HUGE deal, and I will not be using a pc again without Adblock.

works for me, been using for about 4 years

You guys are double charging me. Why am I being asked to uprade when I actually paid a one year subscription yesterday 01 December 2022 for $19.99?

Well this extension is dead

locking the ability to block specific elements on a webpage behind a paywall is pretty mid

Best add on I ever used, worth getting. Have been using it for the past 3-4 years.

Good morning my very good friend ABP. This morning of December 1st, I received this announcement (see link) and I was very scared. I didn't understand what it was at that time. I am a retired man (after 33 years of work), so I manage my every penny (currency). But if everything is OK, I'm happy. So I wish you all the best in the world, with lots of health and happiness, in peace ! Sincerely, Dinu, 63, from Romania - https://getadblock.com/en/update/e/5.3.2/?u=r8ewr7eo59201290&rt=0

No issues here. Works like a charm. I don't have it for my phones, so I know just how well it's protecting my psyche from horrible, intrusive, repetitive, incredibly stupid and irritating commercials when it comes to Youtube on my laptops. More than happy to make a donation, as we all should.

I'll reinstall when the block element feature returns for free. Until then, I'm good.

if we go back maybe 5 or 6 years ago I would have said that this is the best adblocker that there is, sadly today I found out that this app doesn't work anymore, and many of the useful features that were a staple for this app are now locked behind a paywall, its kind of disappointing on the drop in quality of this app.

Why did it stop blocking ads and "promoted" tweets on twitter? Loved this until that recent change.

As good of an adblocker as it is (once you turn off "acceptable ads"), the dropdown now ironically has its own "upgrade" ad for adblock plus premium, with no way to hide it as far as I can tell. The settings menu is also completely plastered in ads for premium. Not much of an adblocker if it displays its own ads.

Time to look for another option. This app has been steadily declining year after year. Now you have to pay for the most useful features. No thanks.

Useless doesn't block nothing and on fb you get hammered with sponsored ads. Time to find another ad blocking company. Very poor and don't give a damn about your customers.

I don't like how now all of sudden you have to pay for it or it wont block ads. after all the donations i made? i just feel like that's so greedy of the developers.

It's a gift from God!

Adblock Plus was the gold standard for years, but not anymore. They've removed the ability to block specific elements on a web page, and now have that feature locked behind a "New distraction control" premium feature, marketing it as a brand new way to control distractions on a website for only $20 a year, or $2 a month. THIS FEATURE WAS FREE for years, but now it's paywalled. The developers got greedy. I think it's time they lose their donations. Scumbags.

I love this blocks YouTube ads and pop up ads too I don't know what people are talking about saying you have to pay to use it its completely free for me.

Can't block element anymore, thanks for removing the best feature. Uninstalled.

ruined it with a paywall

I've donated to Adblock Plus in the past. Now ABP thanks me by removing the block element feature, making it an additional $20 a year feature. Ridiculous.

Great blocker
