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 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!

I've used the free version for a year… I've used the free version for a year and just signed up to pay $20/year, which is a pittance to pay for being able to use the web with no autoplay video ads, no banner ads, no ads whatsoever. I find the autoplay video ads, in particular, to be unbearably intrusive. And for $20 *a year* I don't have to see them. Thank you!!!

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

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
