Adblock
I made a huge mistake with my previous review. My previous review was meant to be for a company called Total Adblock. This company will rip you off as I believe they are scammers. I have now reported total adblock to my bank's fraud squad and they will pursue the issue further. Apologies Adblock for the inconvenience I have caused.

AdBlock is absolutely the best
AdBlock is absolutely the best. Don't get fooled by similar names. TotalAdBlock and AdBlockPlus are not any better, in fact they are worse. I have been using AdBlock for years. I listen to YouTube videos for hours with NO ADS EVER. It is amazing. I love this company. Absolutely the best. All the negative reviews are from people using knock-off similar sounding extensions that are terrible. AdBlock is the best!

I bought Premium because it promised to block floating video/popup ads, but it didn't deliver on their promises. I asked for a refund and got a reply and my money back within less than 24h. I am happy with the cusomer support and will continue to use the free version until I have a reason to upgrade, or find something better.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're sorry Premium didn't work out the way you'd hoped, but we're glad you were able to get a refund. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
Total AdBlock isn't an improvement or anything.
Works for me, Total AdBlock and AdBlock are DIFFERENT extensions.
This AdBlock is the real AdBlock and it is very useful when you hate annoying unskippable ads on YouTube.

I can confirm that getadblock.com definitely do not charge for their adblock & since I downloaded it on my phone I have had no problems.
I would also like to say I think totaladblock are mirroring getadblock.com, if that's the correct word, as when I went to download getadblock.com's adblocker totaladblock appeared as an ad over getadblocks screen & they charge for their adblocker. This may be where people are getting confused as to whose adblock they are downloading.

Adblock does not work on fox news.
Fox news runs a 15 or 30 second commercial every time a video is opened. Adblock used to block those. now fox displays a banner that says to delete adblock and the entire screen is locked. Adblock no longer works on this site and they tell me that there is nothing they can do.
I tried your recommended solution and that does nothing. This banner is what appears as soon as site is opened,

I recently put up a negative review here. This was an error, it was aimed at TotalAdBlock and TotalAV - not AdBlock. Apologies.

Thanks for editing your review, we really appreciate it! It's hard to keep up with the reviews we get for Total Adblock. If you'd like to try AdBlock out, you can download it at getadblock.com!
AdBlock is great and definitely NOT Total AdBlock
It's unfortunate to see so many naïve people leaving reviews for Total AdBlock here, when the actual AdBlock program is so great. I've used the real AdBlock for close to a decade now, and recently signed up for their VPN beta as well. The AdBlock team has always made a great product for free, and only ever asked for the occasional donation. Keep up the good work and down with Total AdBlock!

Two advert blockers with very similar names
I'm so glad I didn't install Total Adblock. I had assumed it was an updated version of Adblock, obviously not, going by posters' comments.
I've had the normal Adblock for years, it's brilliant and blocks adverts in all sites I'm able to use it in.

Thanks for the review, Gerry! We've been getting a lot of negative reviews for Total Adblock, unfortunately, but as you've correctly noted we're not affiliated with them in any way.
Best of luck with AdBlock, and let us know if you ever run into any problems!
Advertising costs
Blocking online ads and trackers has the added benefit of conserving bandwidth and battery life, boosting website response times, and generally improving the overall user experience. So using an Adblocker not only protects my device but also provides a better overall user experience and saves on my 4G data usage, which I pay for, NOT the advertising companies, until they start paying towards my monthly data usage they can go and do one. Last word... Adclear (the one I use) is totally free.

Total Adblock is NOT Adblock!
MY ORIGINAL REVIEW - WHICH HAD ONE STAR
I have always used adblock - i.e. the free version - and on line negative reviews have deterred me from paying to upgrade to Total Adblock. However, the invitation to upgrade persistently pops up on my screen and in very intrusive places where it blocks out parts of the page I am trying to view! I can close the ad down, but seconds later it just pops back up again. How ironic and irritating is this!!
And why do their ads still claim a five star excellent rating on Trustpilot??
MY REVISED REVIEW - HENCE NOW FIVE STARS
As I said, I have always use Adblock, but I bought a new PC and THOUGHT that I had downloaded Adblock again - hence my original review. Adblock replied promptly, helpfully and with great tolerance (see below) and I shall now download the CORRECT application.
My sincere apologies, appreciation and respect to Adblock.

Hi! We're not affiliated with Total Adblock in anyway, but unfortunately we receive a lot of their negative reviews. To install AdBlock (and ensure you're not installing an ad blocker with a similar name), make sure you download it directly from our website: getadblock.com. (Please consider removing your review, as this is for another product developed by a separate company. Thank you!)
Update: Thanks so much for your kind words and for the edited review! If there's ever anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at help@getadblock.com.
