Description

Adblock Plus is among the most popular and trusted free ad blockers with over 500 million downloads. A favorite ad blocker among users since 2006, Adblock Plus lets you block ads and enjoy a better browsing experience on YouTube and your other favorite sites. Looking for an alternative adblocker to uBlock Origin? We are and always will be Chrome-compatible with the latest MV3 updates. ➤ Download Adblock Plus and access these free ad-blocking features: ● Block annoying ads like pop-ups, video ads, and banners. ● Block third-party trackers and keep your information more private from advertisers. ● Reduce cyber fraud from malicious ads with viruses and phishing scams that compromise your device and target your accounts. ● Personalize your browsing by choosing what to block and what to allow. ● Enjoy free and responsive support from our team! ➤ Get more from your adblocker and take more control over your browsing experience when you upgrade to Premium: ● Block more than ads and say goodbye to auto-play videos that follow as you browse, newsletter pop-ups, survey requests, and more. ● Hide cookie banners and get where you’re going faster when you stop seeing those pesky pop-ups that ask you to accept cookies on sites. Adblock Plus functions as an adblock for YouTube and other sites the moment you install the extension allowing you to browse the web how you want. You can customize your settings once you install the extension, pin it to your toolbar, and open the menu. In some cases, ads may be displayed on YouTube or other sites. Learn more about blocking ads on YouTube: https://adblockplus.org/youtube. If you need to pause AdBlock Plus, open the extension and click ‘pause on this site’. Our extension helps keep content free for users by showing some nonintrusive ads that comply with the Acceptable Ads Standard (www.acceptableads.com) by default. If you do not wish to see Acceptable Ads, this can be turned off at any time: https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads#optout. Please note: When installing Adblock Plus, you will receive a warning that the extension will receive access to your browsing history and data. This is a standard message - we NEVER collect any identifying user information. We prioritize user privacy and security, ensuring your browsing history and personal information remain private. By downloading and installing this extension, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://adblockplus.org/terms and our Privacy Policy https://adblockplus.org/privacy. This adblock extension is also available for Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

Out of the blue it adds 'Allow Acceptable Ads' flag and enables it without consent! Read the name developers, it's called Adblock!! AD BLOCK!! There are absolutely NO Acceptable Ads!

It shows you ads. You open your browser and it opens a new tab to try to get you to subscribe. How ironic.

1 star is even too much rating i give a 0.4 star, you mean i have to pay for blockingpop up cookies and autoplay videos, I specifically added this extension to my chrome browser for those 2 purposes now you want me to pay for it. I suggest to anyone and everyone not to add this extension, it;s not worth it.

What's the point of using an ad blocker that behaves like adware itself?

It re-enables itself after I disable it for certain websites and has become more annoying than actual ads

bricked my web browser. originally just caused a lot of lag on startup of chrome, and a few days later, would stop me from opening my browser completely. checked through task manager and watched as google chrome popped up only to disappear moments after.

Frequent messages prompting for payment (Premium upgrade) pop up. There is no button to close the window, so you have to reload the page to get rid of it. It covers the web content, is extremely disruptive, and interferes with form input. Since the extension's core functionality and performance were mediocre, I stopped using it.

Go from website ads to ABP popups. Thankfully there are other great options. At least the uninstall works without popus.

Pop ups and pop behinds now happen as much with it as without it, it's really bad now. It allows the invisible full page overlay redirects, that redirect when you click anywhere on webpages etc. It's genuinely rubbish now, used to be far better.

Not actually free. They sweep you in to only offer some ad blocking support while wanting you to pay a subscription

it is not working seamlessly on chrome, it forces you to hit refresh before every video, on youtube anyway. No more auto DJ action.

This extension has blocked my Chrome for months, I have tried everything to find out what was the reason for glitching, until disabled this extension, everyhing works perfect now.

BS adblocker that constantly begs for your money and makes you have to manually block ads half the time. Do yourself a favor and try something else.

Do you want to get ads for no ads every day shoved into your feed? This is the extension for you! ABP will forever harass you to pay while breaking sites.

It claims it's 'free' but it doesn't block ads unless you pay!!!

The ticker says it keeps blocking ads but it isn't actually blocking any ads, some sites stop working entirely while it's active and other sites i've listed for do not block still register the ad block as running after a few songs and makes me refresh the page. Hasn't really worked properly in over a month.

they basically try their best to bully you into paying for their service with a passive aggressive tab pop up that can disrupt anything you're doing by prioritizing the tab. In addition they have 3 "do you want to block cookies" popups in the top right of any webpage 2 that you can close, and one that you literally can't close at all, these people are the scum of the earth and i hope they go violently when their time comes
