by Lumenation, 2 years agoThis extension allows itself to be detected. How do I know? I use Ublock Origin and AB+ for a long time. Every time adblock detections happened just disabled AB+ and Ublock gets you through.
Problem is: More and more sites are getting through. And yet AB+ is always updating. Which tells us as users a few things. 1) They don't care about improving the product or allowing the users to pass around working configs. 2) They are intentionally selling these detections or allowing them through purposely on sites, whether for money or to keep existing, maybe both. 3) It doesn't work because it's been neutralized in every way by those pesky advertisers who program sooooooo well.
I'm tired of ads for things that hate me finding me. I'm tired of ads that hate people finding me. I hate ads finding me because I have no money to spend and these people are taking from others to pay AB+ so they can also take from others.Any choice out of these should just make you go all Old Cap on this extension: "No I don't think I will".

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18922828, 2 days agoI don't know what's more annoying: the sick advertising on so many websites, or the annoying and now USELESS AdBlock Plus. I think if you satisfied their greed and signed up for a monthly subscription, it would work. Without a subscription, it's useless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18762090, 3 days agoWhy does the WhiteList keep resetting? I've uninstalled this addon and reinstalled (like instructed) and sites I once WhiteList will reset after a few days. Come on! Let me guess, someone is paying you guys off? What garbage. Enough already. Stop being afraid of Google.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Slick Willie, 17 days agoThis used to be my GO TO Adblocker for donkey's years. Not anymore. With all of the begging for money (Are these adblocker lists the developer's? I don't think so!), I've given it the heave-ho and replaced it with UBlock Origin. That's a vastly superior Adblocker.

It's blocked at almost 100k ads for me over the years. Unfortunately, I have discovered today that YouTube now refuses to play anything or even access the player with this enabled. Shame on YouTube for this!

posted 3 days agoWe're aware that YouTube has been intermittently testing strategies to show either ads or their anti-adblocking wall. However, in some cases we've found that your settings might have changed which is why ads are suddenly appearing.
