- Doesn't support more than one or two lists. - It triggers its own popups randomly with subscription advertisement, lol.

Ridiculous - CONSTANT pop-up adds for buying Adblock service. BYE!

Used to be great but in 1 day "has updated" twice in less than 24 hours and its overriding other tasks I am doing on the computer, such as forcing itself overtop of full screen functions. DO BETTER. Edit: I already had all data collection off. That suggestion is irrelevant. Your product should not be overtaking the user experience without permission by DEFAULT.

This has been used for years without problems now you are constantly spamming new tabs on my browser every single time i start chrome with adblock is now installed i know its bloody installed. I will now remove this and install ublock origin instead i install adblock to avoid ads and new tab spams and you are the one spamming people.

Was good until they started harassing with their "Ban Cookies now pop up". Cant even click it away, need to reload the site which is inefficient and time consuming. Removed it and installed uBlock instead. F u

Used to be good, lately I get more ads from Adblock itself asking for payment. I got sick of it and installed another adblocker.

Worked great, but there's always a catch. Now we find out that AdBlock is complicit in distributing something much worse than advertising??? https://www.pcworld.com/article/3037666/840000-users-hit-by-malicious-browser-extensions-uninstall-these-asap.html

Confirmed Extension does not work with Chrome 144. Options page is empty, and dropdown in pinned area is empty. Unable to pause/unpause on site. Extension is useless until Developer updates.

It seems to become incompatible with Chrome Version 144... Hope they get it fixed soon.

Lots of pop-ups and window redirects. It blocks ads but it creates lots of ads for itself.

Compared to Ublock Origin, This Is Completely An Objectively Inferior Extension, The Only Reason I Do Still Use It IS Only Incase Ublock Goes Down. The Tab Popups And Un-Closable Windows Popping Up From This Extension Are Overbearing. Get Yourself In Order

They were supposed to block ads and they became the ad. They beg for money everytime the extension updates. Just download uBlock, this can't even begin to compete.

Ever notice videos that you've never watched are showing up in your YouTube watch history, especially from Disney+? That's what this extension does. It artificially inflates view counts for Disney and alters which videos YouTube recommends to you. If that is important to you, then use a different extension.

it starts to break down my complete chrome experience with even black screens so i have to reboot my laptop. and it breaks down often so i have to delete and reinstall the extension. if you try to repair the extension the whole system freezes.
