posted 20 days 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 1 out of 5by skyhook, 19 days agoSo so so frustrating that AdBlock comes with spam these days. Every day, Adblock opens a New Tab requesting that I pay to upgrade to "premium Adblock"...whatever that nonsense is. This behavior only began roughly 1-2 years ago, when Adblock started going downhill. The straw that broke the camel's back tho was that Adblock recently decided to hide the "Block something on this page" button—the only feature that I ever really valued. So, reader, do yourself a favor: skip Adblock & just stick with **uBlock Origin**... it's free, zero spam, & vastly better performance.

posted 13 days agoThe update page which provides the option to upgrade to Premium should only show once per browser/device when we release an update to the extension. If you are seeing it every day, please email us at support@getadblock.com The block element feature can be found on the new menu by clicking the AdBlock icon > More (three dots). — Kat C., AdBlock Support - Rated 5 out of 5by Shiro, 21 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by SubMarinerr, a month agoFirst thing that happens is that you are presented with a page that asks you for money. Where in this FF posting for this add on say that you must pay for it? Not interested, thanks. Bye

- Rated 1 out of 5by ElPoonPoon, a month 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 20 days 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Faust, 2 months 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 20 days 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, 2 months 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 20 days 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, 2 months ago
