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.

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!

I had to figure out that Adblock VPN… I had to figure out that Adblock VPN does not work with Linux OS. Yet they take your money. When asking for assistance you'll get a bot, or a self-help screen. Customer service is virtually non-existent.

Pop-up generating ad blocker Daily updates and begging for money in pop-ups is not my idea of an ad blocker

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.
