    Had a problem where this site I was using sometimes automatically opened a new tab with an ad for something like a download for a game called Where Winds Meet and other things; even worse is that it forces me into that new tab, so I'd need to close it and go back to the site every time. Thanks to Adblock, the tabs automatically close when they are opened, not even taking me to the new tab! Makes using that site super comfy now!

    Stop asking me to subscribe to premium! The popups are interfering with my work and meetings! It is more annoying than any ad because it pops up randomly at any given time! Once you remove this, I will re add this extension. For now, I will be removing it.

    Thanks for your review. You can disable the update page with these steps: Click the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar > gear icon > General tab. Deselect "Allow AdBlock to show occasional promotional messages". If you have any questions, please reach out to us at help@getadblock.com and reference this review.

    I have had AdBlock for years and renew my subscription annually. I have a tremendous amount of ads popping up. What is going on, and how will it be fixed?
    Developer reply · 23 Jul 2026
    To troubleshoot, click the AdBlock icon in the browser's toolbar > Gear icon > Filter lists tab. Confirm you are subscribed to EasyList and Anti-Circumvention filter lists. Click 'Update now' to fetch updates to your filter lists. Reload any pages with ads. If this doesn't fix the issue, please email help@getadblock.com with a screenshot of what you are seeing and reference this review for prompt assistance.

    I paid a lot of money for security with AdBlock, but now I am getting way too many Ad Pop Ups. Very annoying. Any ideas as to what has happened?

    AdBlock has worked well for me for almost a year now, but now it seems Facebook is hitting back, if you have any Adblocker active, it refuses to load ANYTHING, hoping y'all can find a work around.
    Developer reply · 2 May 2026
    Thanks for your support! We released a filter list update to resolve this issue. If you run into anything else and would like help troubleshooting, please reach out to us at help@getadblock.com. — Kat C., AdBlock Support

    An ad blocker that keeps showing me ads begging for money. How ironic. Every time this thing updates it takes the liberty to taking control of my browser, opening new tabs and asking for my credit card for donations.
    Developer reply · 2 May 2026
    We show a page when we update the extension to remind you of the work we are doing and let you know about any new Premium features. You can disable the page if you'd prefer not to see it: Click the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar > gear icon > General tab and deselect the option Allow AdBlock to show occasional promotional messages. Feel free to reach out at help@getadblock.com with any questions. — Kat C., AdBlock Support

    It does NOT block ads. Don't waste your time downloading this garbage.
    Developer reply · 8 Nov 2025
    To troubleshoot, click the AdBlock icon on your browser's toolbar, then select the gear icon and go to the Filter lists tab. Make sure you are subscribed to EasyList and Anti-Circumvention filter lists. Decide whether to subscribe to the Acceptable Ads filter list. Then, click 'Update now' to fetch updates to your filter lists. Reload any pages where you saw ads. If this doesn't fix the issue, please email us at help@getadblock.com — Kat C., AdBlock Support

    I love the software and all, but sometimes I click "Pause on this site" and it doesn't pause. Overall really good, but please work on making the extension pause blocking when requested, sometimes I can't complete work without this disabled.
    Developer reply · 20 Sep 2025
    Please email us at help@getadblock.com so we can investigate this issue. It would be helpful to know whether or not the AdBlock icon changes color when you experience this issue, and if you notice it happening across all sites or on specific sites. — Kat C., AdBlock Support

How these figures are measured

Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
