Users are massively giving their 1-star reviews to AdBlocker
- ronsor 3y agoThe reviewers seem to be claiming that AdBlock is inserting its own ads to replace the blocked ones.
- anonylizard 3y agoI've seen it myself, a pop-up ad advertising adblock premium and VPN. I actually donated a few $ before that, but seeing that was just unbelievably shocking.

- ccvannorman 3y agoThe only thing worse than an ad is being in the middle of deep thought on a deep task and being instantly, and without warning, switched to the full screen red colored Ad-Blocker update / donate tab. I uninstalled it immediately.
- yreg 3y agoWhat is this about? I don't see the reviews on mobile.
- tjpnz 3y agoMeta comment - why are reviews only displayed on the desktop site?
- elashri 3y agoThey probably assume that only if you on PC you will be interested into reading reviews about extensions. Because you can't use them them on mobile (android or Firefox) while using vanilla chrome.
- rstat1 3y agoIs the same one that allowed advertisers to pay to get around the block? Because if so, then the new subscription thing they're pushing makes perfect sense.

- zlg_codes 3y agoWhy is anyone not using uBlock Origin? Raymond's proven so far he won't be shady, and has made a tool that's incredibly resilient to anything the server side can do. The adblocker wars cannot be won by the serving side. There will always be a way to browse the Web without ads, or there will simply be fewer people using the Web; they will move onto other protocols where they can avoid ads.. at least until the marketers catch on. Our culture needs to confront the fact that people are tired of their attention being diverted from their goals every day just so some dumb companies can remind us they exist. Is there nowhere in society considered sacred enough to not litter it with advertising filth?
- mikpanko 3y agoDoes it work with the new Youtube ad blocker wall?
- blahyawnblah 3y agoI use uBlock origin, privacy badger, and pihole and have had no issues with youtube with firefox
- user764743 3y agoprivacy badger is redundant and unnecessary
- sudhackar 3y agoprivacy badger is useless at best and can do a disservice. uBlock origin can do everything privacy badger does and more. Also it has been known that having both privacy badger and uBlock origin causes conflicts and issues.
- ghostwords 3y agoHello! Privacy Badger dev here. uBlock Origin is indeed an excellent privacy tool. However, uBlock Origin is not a replacement for Privacy Badger (nor is Privacy Badger a replacement for uBlock Origin). For one, uBlock Origin uses manually compiled ad blocker lists, while Privacy Badger automatically learns using heuristics. Both approaches have their pluses and minuses. Our FAQ goes into what makes Privacy Badger different here[1] and here[2]. > Also it has been known that having both privacy badger and uBlock origin causes conflicts and issues. As far as I know, the two extensions work well together. Could you point me to some of these issues?

- globalnode 3y agoim guessing there are many forces at work trying to get rid of ad blockers. not sure what this is all about but my bet is on sabotage or greed.
- goalonetwo 3y agoThis is one of the biggest threads to all those adtechs. We only start to recently see Google starting to attempt to crackdown on all of those. Youtube is now playing a cat and mouse game. The single best thing we can all do to prevent this is to stop using Chrome.
