by Firefox user 15704522, 2 years agoYouTube has busted me on this several times. YouTube is the only reason I try to block ads - so, AdBlock Plus, try as I might, does not work for me.

posted 2 years agoHello,
Thanks for contacting Adblock Plus.
We are aware that YouTube is currently testing anti-adblock notifications for some users with ad blockers installed. We are looking for the best way to address this, however, Youtube is quick to find their way around our strategies. You may see a variety of different behaviors such as a temporary black screen or a very brief display of an ad. These are related to our efforts to prevent the anti-adblock wall from appearing for you.
Anti-adblock walls have long been an issue for all ad blockers, not just ours. While we do believe that content providers should have the right to decide how you interact with their page (or opt not to, if you choose not to continue to patronize them), we know YouTube's walls are particularly troubling to many of our users.
We are hoping to find a way to address this, but for now, our best option is to allow ads for the YouTube site. To temporarily disable ABP, just click on your ABP icon > tog the blue button to off (it will turn gray) > refresh the page.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18607988, a month agoI like the ads blocking. I wish it had a way to actively save the whitelist. I keep having to re whitelist things, with an import / export of the config files.

posted 18 days agoWe appreciate your feedback. We use a system called smart allowlisting: if you do not visit a website that you have allowlisted within 7 days, it gets automatically removed from your allowlisted websites. If you visit it in 7 days, it will get renewed for another 7 days.
We are always looking to improve, so I am forwarding your message to our team for their consideration in future updates. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mirka, a month ago

posted a month agoFor non-Premium users, our payment page displays when we update the extension to keep you informed on changes we've made and as a reminder to consider upgrading to Premium. There is no obligation to upgrade and you can dismiss the page by clicking the "x" on the browser tab. You can also dismiss this page by going to the Advanced tab on your ABP settings and unchecking the box next to "Allow Adblock Plus to show occasional promotional messages."- Rated 1 out of 5by tl, 4 months agoCreates multiple virus like software applications that are intentionally hard to uninstall. Also not a reputable company, takes your information and tries to hide it from you that they do it.
