Adblock does not work on fox news. Fox news runs a 15 or 30 second commercial every time a video is opened. Adblock used to block those. now fox displays a banner that says to delete adblock and the entire screen is locked. Adblock no longer works on this site and they tell me that there is nothing they can do. I tried your recommended solution and that does nothing. This banner is what appears as soon as site is opened, Welcome to Fox News We've got news for you If you like our coverage, please disable your ad blocker. Allow ads on FOX News

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!

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.

Do notr install! Does opposite of what it says--with its own ads Absolutely the last straw. I was in the flow writing a very important work letter. Fully concentrating and exactly on track, an entire web page opens and a biog ugly stop sign appears to tell me my AD BLOCKER has been updated. Please don't scroll away--gibberish. It was signed, "Love, AdBlock." The nerve of a place purporting to block ads, interrupting people's daily lives WITH AN AD THAT POPS UP, well, it should be banned. What makes the creators of these moronic tactics think this would entice me to BUY the paid service? DO NOT INSTALL THIS! Trust me! Use uBlock Origin or a different ad blocker that lets you work in peace. This pop up baloney has finally happened one too many times. I actively sought how to review this, and will also be reporting its false and deceptive tactics.

Paid £9.95 but no reduction in ads so… Paid £9.95 but no reduction in ads so cancelled only to find that they were trying to bill me every month. Arranged a chargeback with my bank and a block on the monthly fee but each and every month they try and take a payment which my bank blocks.
