by Firefox user 14333591, 8 years agoFirst let me say, I LOVE this extension. Any computer I get my hands on, mine or not, gets AdNauseam installed on it. I recommend it to everyone I know, and have the chrome version ready to go at a moment's notice, despite not even using chrome.
My ONLY qualm is not with the philosophy of AdNauseam, which I completely ascribe to, or any of the behavior it normally displays.
However, sometimes the filter lists require updating, but they NEVER get updated. I can wait for an hour and nothing will happen, and there's no indication of how long it will take for it to finish. What's worse is that a page refresh seems to stop the updating of the filter list s altogether, and set me back to where I started. Even changing the process priority to -20 does nothing. The only success I've had with remedying this problem is removing and reinstalling.
I only wish there were more information about this problem other than that it takes a lot of CPU to update the lists.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Chonky_Wireless, a month agoIt blocks ads great, as expected from a ublock origin fork. Ad vault feature is very fun.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Itsokay, 2 months agoWill have to avoid this for now, worked amazingly but all of a sudden it keeps asking me to turn it back on after every time I close my browner, checking 3 little tabs every time and yet it still does not seem to work properly. I cannot view my ad vault, no statistics are available, etc.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16315383, 2 months agoI'd love to use it, but the settings keep getting deleted after browser restart, and this has been an issue for over a year now. I will use uBO Until they have fixed this bug.

- Rated 1 out of 5by KMantle42, 3 months agoThere's not a single ad blocker that blocks every ad, so I have multiple ad blockers enabled. The single one that has a problem with it is AdNauseam, who whenever I open Firefox it turns itself off and asks me to delete every other ad blocker.
No, I'm not doing that. I rather delete AdNauseam - Rated 5 out of 5by Chill, 3 months ago
