When an ad starts playing audio, it disrupts my entire workflow, possibly disturbs my partner sleeping next to me, etc. I use it because I don't want auto-starting audio, ever.
#Adblock plus firefox plus#
I use AdBlock Plus not because I don't want to see ads.I actually don't mind ads. On that ground, uBlock has been quite stable for a while now, I don't remember the last time something was blocked which should not have been blocked (or vice versa) as per filter lists.
Un-select whatever filter lists which you think should not be selected.Īs I have said countless times now, uBlock will block as much as ABP blocks when using same filter lists.Īs always, if you think something is blocked which should not be (for example if ABP with the same lists has a different behavior), I need a URL, a test case in order to be able to infirm/confirm that the problem is with uBlock and not with the filter lists. It won't block more than what is spelled out in these lists. UBlock uses third-party filter lists such as EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's, etc. > also breaks a lot of sites that uses the google common javascript library CDN
There is no filter which matches "", so this can't be blocked, unless you have a custom filter which does that.
#Adblock plus firefox software#
"Great software but the name is fucking annoying, mate!" He's clearly poured so much time and effort into making such useful software. I'd say something to gorhill (albeit far more politely), but it seems childish and ungrateful. ΜTorrent was the one that really irritated me because I couldn't type "utorr" to search for it on my start menu. Call the project microBlock or something! They use "u" instead of "µ" on Github, so why not just use something else entirely? Where is the Mu key on the keyboard? I have to copy and paste or alt-code it. Off-topic but I wish people would stop using Mu for project names. Probably not accurate, but a lot better AdBlock (my previous favourite). Opera's task manager says the extension is taking up a mere 32MB. I have a lot of filters: "62,501 network filters ＋ 40,728 cosmetic filters". I've whitelisted a few sites I like to support (a couple of webcomics, HaD etc). (I have my defaults changed to DuckDuckGo. It works fine, although I've not tried µMatrix. For me, it has the polish of Chrome with some nice extras, but without the increasingly creepy Googality. If that doesn't help, t ry these troubleshooting steps.As my paranoia ramps up year on year, I now use Opera with ♛lock. Your profile or the file that stores the extensions registry might have become corrupted. If the above suggestions haven't helped, the culprit may be Firefox itself. If you don't want to pay for AdBlock at this time, just close the page. Be sure to copy any custom filters to a text file for safekeeping first.īy the way, our payment page opens every time AdBlock is installed. You can also be a good web citizen by reporting the problem to the developer of the other extension.Įxtensions can become corrupted if something goes wrong in Firefox. If you like them both, just re-enable AdBlock every time you start Firefox. You'll need to decide which extension you value more, that one or AdBlock. The last extension you enabled is the jealous one.

#Adblock plus firefox windows#
Plus, it's available for both Windows and MacOS, and it's free! We are not affiliated with them we've just found that their software tends to find malware that others miss. Next, scan your computer with an anti-malware application. The first thing you should do is check about://addons for any extensions you don't remember installing yourself. Malware often looks for and uninstalls extensions that can keep them from doing their nefarious work. Macs are vulnerable to malware just as Windows computers are, it's just more rare. If AdBlock is constantly being uninstalled or disabled every time you open Firefox, it could mean your computer is infected with malware-even if you have a Mac. Either way, it could be an issue with malware, an extension that doesn't like AdBlock, a broken installation of AdBlock, or even Firefox itself. Has the AdBlock button vanished from the browser toolbar every time you open Firefox? Visit about://addons and see whether AdBlock has been disabled or even uninstalled.
