- Rated 1 out of 5by ElPoonPoon, 15 days agoThe ad blocker has intrusive pop-ups just like the things it's designed to protect you from now.
They disguise them as "update" notifications but they are pushing updates every week and if you have the extension on multiple devices it will take over whatever tab you have open and show you that it's updated for the 5th time this month on every single device and conveniently also have an option to donate money.
The annoyance quickly builds up. After being interrupted and having to close a good 20-30 pop ups across all my devices a month, I'm done.Developer response
posted 3 hours agoWhen we update the extension, we display the payment page to inform you about any new Premium features and offer you the option to upgrade. We have been releasing frequent updates, and I apologize for the disruption this has caused you.

posted 3 hours agoPlease try allowing ads on YouTube for a day or so. Then, when AdBlock is enabled again, YouTube's warning should no longer show. If that doesn't do the trick, you can reach out to us at support@getadblock.com — Kat C., AdBlock Support- Rated 5 out of 5by Konstantin, 23 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Faust, a month agoIt’s quite ironic that an ad blocker designed to eliminate unwanted commercial spam ends up opening its own unwanted commercial spam. I understand the need to monetize, but opening a new tab to push a subscription offer feels intrusive. Most people are already overwhelmed with numerous subscriptions and don’t want to add another. This approach undermines the very purpose of using an ad blocker in the first place.
Rethink your marketing efforts, AdBlock. Do better.Developer response
posted 3 hours agoFor non-Premium users, our payment page displays when we update the extension to keep you informed on changes we've made and as a reminder to consider upgrading to Premium. There is no obligation to upgrade, and you can dismiss the page by clicking the "x" on the browser tab. I appreciate your feedback about your experience with the update page and have made a note for our team. If you have additional feedback or questions, you can reach us at support@getadblock.com — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 1 out of 5by familycanidae, a month agoUse Ublock Origin. Adblock will open up a spam tab every single day asking you to pay money for their "Premium" service. I was using this app because I DIDN'T WANT popups, lmao.
They're also going to reply to this review stating that the basic app is available for free and that the pop-up tab can simply be closed. Hey Adblock, I have a better solution--how about you stop asking for handouts and stop spamming us with popups? :D "If you don't like the tab you can just close it" is the same as saying "Hey, we are going to try to punch you in the face every day, if you don't like that you can just try to dodge the punch."Developer response
posted 3 hours agoIt's not expected to see the update page every day. It should only display when we release an update to the extension. Feel welcome to email us at support@getadblock.com and we can help troubleshoot. — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 5 out of 5by Ninetynine, a month ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12734305, a month agoThey promise "Surf the web without annoying ads!", they fail to deliver, it keep spanning you with own ads, moving features into premium and asking you for money. Better switch to ublockorigin or any clean fork
