I paid for Adblock Premium I paid for Adblock Premium. However, I regularly (every day or two) find that it reverts to the free version. I have to go through the process of "Upgrading" and then select I have already upgraded, put in my Paypal email address, wait for a new verification code, enter the code and then set all the options I want to use. I contacted Customer Service (ticket 263916) and was told that developers are working on a fix but no estimated fix date. Can I have a refund - no, I can't, apparently. Wasted my money

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!

Terrible! Absolutely terrible! Honestly the most pathetic customer service after I realised that some random PayPal monthly payment was setup at different costs. Cancelled the PayPal payments and now they refuse to give me my money back. Not worth speaking to their customer service as they are like continuous robots that respond with the same email on a continuous loop despite providing evidence of the charges. Not worth using the service, just watch with ads as the application itself doesn't even work anyway.

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.
