Software Reviews and Criticism

  The Content Blocking Standard

  I've used AdBlock on my Windows PC, Chrome, for years and years. It's blocked millions of ads. When I got my Windows, Adblock was one of the first things I downloaded. I was sad to see the "advanced" features that are free on Chrome. such as whitelisting an entire domain, cost $5. Let's be real though, they're a small company with only nine empolyees, and I've been leaching off AdBlock for years and years. $5 is more than enough to give back. They're been able to survive off of donations for all these years, and apparently there's no good way to ask for donations because Microsoft will take 30% of it. I complained about the premium features being free and the developer was showed me a blog post they wrote. They're really transparent, and frankly $5 is too cheap. I feel bad for even complaining in the first place. You guys are the best, and keep up the awesome work!

  Never mess with perfection, for money!

  Ask for money you did, donated many times for what was the perfect gift. ADBLOCKER was so wonderful, now I have gaps where advertising was on the NYTimes… ads all over FB; not asking much but really desire another program or my ability to correct the deficiencies of this product now represented as ADBLOCKER 1.9. You all sold out, why did you not sell the software or the application years before this? OMG sold to MACKEEPER! The worst program, slows the entire computer systems programs malfunction w/glitches, which I am not assured of MacKeepers intelligence to take over my computer and shuffle defragmented programs and delete my documents. No, not assured they are perfect, but neither is MacKeeper! What have you done, what a enourmous loss for everyone. Constant issue with inability to open websites, blocked! I feel like I am running a inefficient Microsoft program with no freedom! A pause botton, whiteout websites does not take care of the problems of ads or views there! Did I say, I hate the new adblock? I wrote to your company…to trouble shoot, no response, but made effort to get in line!

  Intrusive Error Pop-Ups With No Advice To Resolve

  I just need to know how to remove the following AdBlock error message each time that I open Safari with AdBlock enabled: "Content Blocking Rule Limit Exceeded. Please Disable Some Filter Lists." I really don't care why I'm receiving the error pop-up. Nor do I want to read several long articles, or be told what I need to enable or disable to not get the intrusive error message any longer. AdBlock's online user articles on the subject offers NO useful advice. The AdBlock software needs to work with the latest version of Safari as advertised - without the annoying error pop-up messages. They should really fix this.

  It works! Well sort of...

  So the main sites I visit were showing ads with the new versoin of Adblock after Safari 12.0 update. Confirming Adblock was set correclty I was still getting ads. That’s when I stumbled upon a setting within Safari. Go to Safari, Preferences, Websites, Content Blockers. Go through this list and confirm that all are turned on for sites you visit. If you’re still getting ads, remove the site from the list and check the Adblock setting now. In my case, after I removed the site, Adblock was set to allow ads. I then turned on Adblock to block ads again and Voila, no more ads on the page. I had to turn on for multiple pages within same website (a forum site) but once I did that no more ads. Hope this helps. Adblock is BACK! Well…for me anyways.
