- Rated 4 out of 5by Justman10000, 3 months agoAll well and good! However, Adblocks forum is dead, which is counterproductive if one need help! Furthermore, Adblock blocks the ads themselves, but the containers in which the ads are to be displayed remain there, whereby their content simply changes color to red
** Edit **
After the explanation it works! The red boxes are gone!Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi,
If you are seeing red boxes, can you please try the following:
Click on your ABP icon > gear icon > advanced > uncheck the box next to Turn on debug element hiding filters mode > refresh the page.
If the issue persists, can you please send us a message to support@adblockplus.org with some screenshot ? We would be happy to look into it for you! - Rated 2 out of 5by Adam.Rattue, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by nothingforyou, 3 months ago"Adblock Plus has been updated! " Are you kidding me? This is browser hijacking adware built into an ad blocker! YOU HAVE DESIGNED IT SPECIFICALLY TO OPEN WHEN YOU CLICK LINKS/NEW TABS. The whole design of the popup is adware meant to hijack your browser. I suggest reporting this as 'something else' and explaining that it's hijacking browser tabs.

We are updating the extension, therefore a popup might appear (it will only happen once per browser/device), but you can simply close it and continue browsing. If you are seeing many payment tabs all at once or encountering the payment page every time you open your browser, please reach out to us via support@adblockplus.org.
Here's more about how our contribution page works: For non-Premium users, we populate the page when we update the extension to keep you informed on changes we've made and as a reminder to support Adblock Plus if you find the software beneficial. We don't track who has previously paid unless your extension is already upgraded to Adblock Plus Premium (and in that case we won't show you the update page at all). The contribution page also displays just after installing ABP so it sometimes appears even though you have recently contributed or have paid for Premium. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17554834, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13658430, 3 months agoGreat extension! But every day, it goes against its own mission of preventing ads by creating its own advert. Without notice it opens own page without permission scrounging for more donations. It's very annoying & disruptive. You are ruining your own great brand because of your incessant greed. If it continues I will remove it from all browsers and devices. Thanks again for the period of time when you were great when you were doing what you set out to do.
UPDATE: I have had a couple of nonsense emails from them (standard cover email) not by I person! People need to be aware of these facts, The company started out as "AdBlock" at the time I donated to the cause around once a year, then there was an update "AdBlock Plus" accepting that there is costs to make improvements I made a donation! Now it's "AdBlock Premium" and a constant bombardment of everyday nagging screens. Whats next after AdBlock Premium? "AdBlock Super Blocker"? AdBlock Fantastic? "AdBlock Exterminator"? I have now decided to remove AdBlock from my browsers - They say that they are sorry to see me go! Really!!!Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Era, 3 months agoIt use to be great, now they focus on (ironically) advertising adblock plus Premium through "donations". Every time its updated (every 2-3 days) it'll bring up a page that begs for donations, and you can't disable it. But if you "purchase" premium, that page won't come up.
I've seen the developers responses, trying to skirt around the issue "But if its multiple tabs at once then report to us immediately!"
Absolute adwere scam. Absolutely ironic.
PS: Note how the developers response doesn't actually talk about the issue. You. Cannot. Turn off. The advert.Developer response

posted 2 months agoHi,
We are as frustrated by Twitch's ability to circumvent our blocks as you are. We have been looking for solutions, but with our last attempt, they detected our blocks and placed a purple notification screen which generated a large number of complaints from our users.
Twitch is very well-funded with a large team entirely focused on finding ways around our blocks. At the same time, we are also working against similar teams at YouTube and Facebook, not to mention the many other sites where we are successfully blocking ads.
I am sorry for the inconvenience this creates in the meantime. Please feel free to reply back if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can do for you; I'm happy to help!- Rated 5 out of 5by ababo, 3 months ago

Adblock Plus is a completely free extension. Every time ABP is installed you will see our contribution page. Feel free to close the page by clicking the "x" on the tab if you've already paid or prefer not to contribute at this time. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13911071, 3 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tehhutch, 3 months agoRemoved after years of use, My browsing session being interrupted by tabs informing me of updates, then nagging for donations is more annoying than the ads it's supposed to block.. I get that developers need support, but there's better ways of doing this.
"Once per browser per device" every time an "update" is pushed out is a terrible way of doing this and false when I see the tab opened several times in an evening during a browsing session.
ABP could do better, instead I have removed it and moved on to other add-ons as it's not worth the headache or interruptions. There are better, more competitive tools out there these days, that behave better than this... Sorry but you could do better.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18395091, 3 months agoHow do I know I have ABP? Nothing tells me that it's on my computer anywhere. I paid for this and now I don't have a clue where it is !
