Adblock now spams users with ads. Adblock now spams users with ads. Have been sending them them a £10 monthly direct debit donation for 3 years, but today have stopped it. Adblock is now showing pop-up adverts for "Premium" version of Adblock near the top right of the screen, and today it opened up a new window promoting the cookie blocking feature. Adblock is now doing the what it says it prevents.... Popup Ads.

Amazing. This adblocker is just amazing. It does not only completely block all the weird ads that show up on websites but it also blocks pop up ads, video ads, and music ads. The good thing is that its also free unlike other adblockers that ask you to pay right after you've installed the app. On the daily average it saves me from manually spending 5 hours skipping ads. I have now been using it for about 5 months and in total it has blocked 36,812 ads for me. Cannot survive without it.

Adblock is now asking users to upgrade Adblock is now asking users to upgrade, with those pop-ups near the top right of the chrome window. Interesting. Adblock is now doing what it says it prevents. Ads. For itself. I understand Adblock is a business, however have some integrity guys. Adblock spamming us with ads is beyond ironic.

They usually work, but think twice about using them. It seems these ad blocks are sometimes effective, but free sports streaming sites, for instance, can now obviously detect your ad blocker, so you don't get past go. The other thing people need to think about is that a lot of free sites we access are free because they have ads - but if everybody has an ad blocker, such free sites are no longer viable and will go out of business eventually. The reply to my comment by AdBlock is appreciated and makes sense. I don't mind ads on free sites as long as they are not too intrusive or try to hi-jack you to somewhere else!

Updating a negative review Last month I downloaded Total AdBlock by mistake, believing it was an upgrade of the 5-star Edge AdBlock. Although I was puzzled by the split in reviews - either 5-star or 1-star with few ratings in between - based on my positive experience with Edge AdBlock, I downloaded the extension anyway. It did not go well! Miscellaneous, non-stop ads filled the entire screen, and ads for Total AdBlock itself popped up on virtually every click. Frustrated, I disabled both extensions. The relief was overwhelming! I left a 1-star review! Not until I chatted online with an agent did I realize that there are two ad block extensions with similar names. I have re-enabled the Edge version and continue to be 5-star happy with it.
