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!

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

I bought Premium because it promised to… I bought Premium because it promised to block floating video/popup ads, but it didn't deliver on their promises. I asked for a refund and got a reply and my money back within less than 24h. I am happy with the cusomer support and will continue to use the free version until I have a reason to upgrade, or find something better.

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, it works for me - make sure you get the real/genuine one ! AdBlock - seems to do what it says really well (Jan.2019) ONLY from getadblock.com or Chrome Webstore downloads . Cuts down most adverts & stops all those annoying instant video ads, or at least most of them. Also reduces the amount of bandwidth / data transfer that each web page uses. . BE AWARE there are many copies of AdBlock and separate AdBlockPlus (- some of the immitators / sound-alike copies are allegedly malware/spammers) . (At Jan.2019 - AdBlock is on getadblock.com or Chrome Webstore - NOT from the webpage adblock . com)
