- Newest critical reviews (in every language):
  - 2★ 2025-12-05, Fabax: no source published even if it's a ublock origin fork, auto whitelist from google & friends.
  - 1★ 2023-07-16, 3kh0: tons of bloat and unneeded clutter, use ublock origin instead
  - 1★ 2019-10-15, Barbara: Old Adaware will not work, most likely because I finally upgraded to Win10. When I try to download another version for Firefox I get a message that the file seems corrupted, so it won't download and install. What goes with that, anyhow?
  - 1★ 2019-08-30, Raymond Hill: It's quite an old version of uBlock Origin with removed features, reskinned, and opt-in telemetry added to it. It violates the GPLv3 license of uBlock Origin: the copyright and license notices have been removed from many of the source files, and the modified source code is nowhere to be found.
  - 2★ 2019-01-25, Firefox user 14587386: Sneaky. Wants to ad bing disguised as an update.
