Stopped Working
Lazer Keyboard
I've been using this specific adblock for years and although it works on some of the other machines I own it has stopped working as intended recently. Every now and then an ad would slip by which a quick refresh would fix but now ads still pop up but are blacked out with audio still coming from the ads. I don't think this recent behaviour is deserving of anything less than 3 stars but imo is no longer that 5 star product I used to love.
Be prepared to be locked down for life

Adblock is just absolutely insane. It takes the liberty of putting itself front and center when you're in the middle of something to require some sort of action. "Hey look at me I'm adblock, I'm on your computer! I need to be updated every day!" It's as if it needs me to be reminded that it's installed on my computer EVERY DAY by stopping everything I'm doing and putting itself on a new tab for me to look at or pop up as an app for some sort of notification. And what's worse is when you try to delete it, it WON'T Delete. It'll tell you something like "The app can't be installed because it's still being used." And even though i turn off the eextension, it still says that and will refuse to be installed. This app is awful, please do yourself a favor and do NOT install this.

To prevent the AdBlock window from appearing, please go to the Settings tab and toggle the option "Launch at login" off. Note: you don't need to keep the app open to block ads in Safari. If you'd still like to uninstall and are running into an error message, I recommend this Apple Support article for additional information about uninstalling applications: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102610 — Kat C., AdBlock Support
Scareware that doesn’t seem to be blocking ads
Bob the Builder 53
I moved from Firefox to Safari because of their recent privacy policy changes. The one feature I miss from Firefox the most is the website isolation. Because of Safari’s own policies preventing uBlock Origin from working, I picked AdBlock for the alleged ability to block Facebook/Instagram Pixel from the disgusting tracking that they do. That doesn’t seem to be the case.As soon as I installed AdBlock for Safari, I got a message asking me to rate it, before I even started using it. Then, it tells me that my connection safety is at 50% because I’m not using their VPN - scareware. By default, "allow some unobtrusive ads" is on. You have to disable it. Manipulative scare tactics are not the right way to make money, especially for a product that doesn’t seem to even be blocking any ads.
New update not good on Intel…

Was version 4 vibe coded? Because it is a buggy mess. Slow to open, slow to move. Trying to change servers from “Nearest Location” now results in a crash every. single. time. So I’m stuck in this setting. I tried to use the in-app help and when selecting my location, it crashes! Worthless update. The previous version was lightweight and fast and worked fine, I was forced to download this when that version stopped connecting. Now the app is bigger, hogs more resources, and why? So I can see a satellite image of where the VPN server is? Why not work on making it more stable, or allow us to use the VPN with macOS’s built in system settings? The old commercial software adage: “If it ain’t broke, break it!”
