AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock

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 2 out of 5by mixlix, 18 days agoFor years AdBlock the free version worked very well for me. Now with a new computer it no longer works at all. So I bought the premium adblock version. Ads are still appearing on youtube. Yes, I have done the the General and and advanced setting procedures as recommended. I hate the ads... Is adblock loosing the ad-war or em I missing something?

- Rated 1 out of 5by AN, 23 days agoIn general a nice add-on which does what it should, but as others said. The addon is frequently opening a new tab in foreground asking to donate or switch to paid version. I know no other addon (and there are very much great addons I use, that do not do this).

- Rated 2 out of 5by SICKS6SIX, a month agoit doesnt stop adverts on youtube or any of the other video content providers ive tried it with, what it does is this; often it opens another window and ask you for money so it doesnt open up that window in the future, the people who are giving this app 5* probably gave Ticktock 5* ratings as well. i gave it 2* becasue it was easy to uninstall, often these trype of money demanding apps are almost impossible to uninstall, so for that reason they get 2* from me,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zhirafick, 2 months 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.
