by Firefox user 13367921, 8 years agoIt works on several sites (I've been using it for many days) and it's great that I can block specific parts of pages without having to use another add-on (such as "Element hiding helper"). But, for some reason, even though I'm subscribed to several lists it doesn't block a SINGLE THING on http://brittanica.com/ (This is probably true for other sites as well.)
Even if I create special rules to block the ads, I re-load the page once or twice and new ads are displayed.
This is very annoying, this not "non-instrusive" advertising (and I have that setting unchecked, by the way) we're talking about ads with moving images and lots of blinking non-sense, right next to the article.
Adblock Plus allowed me to use the Encyclopedia Britannica site without any disturbances.

posted 8 years agoHi lionlionlionlion, thanks for your feedback! On Brittanica.com, I'm seeing a couple of small ads on some pages intermittently. Reloading the page once or twice hides the ads properly for me.
If you're seeing something different, particularly ads with moving or blinking images or ads that don't go away after a refresh, would you mind using our "Report an ad on this page" feature? It will run through some quick troubleshooting that will help us find out what's happening. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zhirafick, 7 days agoВынужден изменить свою оценку. Авторы починили свой блокировщик, добавили новый способ блокировки рекламы для Ютуб. Работает с багами, но всё же работает. Например, в альтернативном режиме блокировки не работает ускорение по пробелу или удерживании кнопки мыши. Горячая клавиша F сбрасывает видео на начало.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18897633, 17 days agofrequently pops up a new tab about upgrading to premium. and i've seen the pathetic responses from addblock's representatives...sure we can just click the x button like you said, but that's defeating the whole purpose of your existence! so stop telling users to close out of an unwanted tab that you created and stop asking people for money!
