- Rated 1 out of 5by Wirek, 7 years agoMissing import/export functionality (present in older versions!)! Copying and pasting rules exported from older version into text-box areas is counter-intuitive (some of elements like prefixes and suffixes must be manually removed!)! A separate text-box area for "Element Hiding Rules" is missing (it is joined/merged with "Custom Filter Rules" now).
It lets through far too many advertisements and "Adblock Warning and blocking" screens (even with "Adblock Warning Removal List" and "ABP filters" added and enabled) - so it doesn't really do what it is supposed to do!
Shame on you, Adblock Plus!
Edit:
I have abandoned you after many years together in favour of your rival uBlock Origin - their add-on is far more useful.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi Wirek!
We hate to see you go! I will certainly pass along the feedback to the team for further improvements. I agree, and export option for custom rules would be great for users. Can you send us some example URLs where you were seeing ads? Feel free to send these details to us via [email protected]. We look forward to your follow up!
Thanks

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by rooiratel, 7 years agoDOES NOT WORK! This still lets ads through, if the ad companies pay them to whitelist their ads. This is not an adblocker and should not be called one, since it can't even do the 1 thing it is supposed to do.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoHello!
Please be advised that no company can simply pay to have their ads shown. Publishers have to meet criteria set by the Acceptable Ads Committee before whitelisting is even considered. Most companies actually pay us nothing at all. Users still have the ability to block these ads by disabling “allow acceptable ads” in options. If you still experience ads with this feature disabled, please send us the URL along with a screenshot of your subscribed filter lists to [email protected]. We are more than happy to troubleshoot. You can find out more about how Acceptable Ads works here https://acceptableads.com.
Thanks

- Rated 1 out of 5by 1Cef0xGReeN, 7 years agoНа ютубе появилась реклама, при снятой галке с разрешенной рекламой.
Реклама появилась даже после обновления страницы, 2 раза - Rated 1 out of 5by az55, 7 years agoМного чего сегодня перестало нормально работать - яндекс.карты, youtube и т.д. Так что теперь еще один повод свалить с нечистоплотного Adblock - со многих сервисов (Яндекс и т.п.) Adblock стал брать деньги, чтобы не скрывать там рекламу.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Leif, 7 years ago'Acceptable Ads' has lost this ad-blocker its integrity. uBlock Origin is a much faster and better ad blocker. Read "There are no acceptable ads" by FiveFilters for more.

posted 7 years agoHello!
So sorry to hear you think that. There seems to be some misunderstandings about our Acceptable Ads Initiative. Users are still in control, and can disable “allow acceptable ads” in options. If you still experience ads with this option disabled, please be advised that these are more than likely NOT Acceptable Ads. In these cases please send us the URL along with a screenshot of your subscribed filter lists to [email protected]. We are usually able to get these reported to the filter list team and resolved. Rest assured no company can pay us to have their ads shown. Publishers have to meet the criteria set by the Acceptable Ads Committee before being considered. Most companies actually pay us nothing at all. You can find more details regarding Acceptable Ads here https://acceptableads.com. As always we do welcome any additional questions.
Thanks

ABP Support Team - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14438640, 7 years agoAdblock plus blockiert, aber es funtktioniert bei vielen Websits nicht, ihn zu deaktivieren. Das nervt inzwischen so sehr, daß ich dieses Add-on leider entfernen werde.
= Adblock plus works, but I can't manage do deactvate it on certain websites. This has been annoying me so much, that I'll deinstall adblock plus. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13902805, 7 years ago
