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!

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.

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.

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

AdBlock is great and definitely NOT Total AdBlock It's unfortunate to see so many naïve people leaving reviews for Total AdBlock here, when the actual AdBlock program is so great. I've used the real AdBlock for close to a decade now, and recently signed up for their VPN beta as well. The AdBlock team has always made a great product for free, and only ever asked for the occasional donation. Keep up the good work and down with Total AdBlock!
