Reviews for Adblock Browser: Fast & Secure

Edit: Still has major problems showing full screen video correctly after several years. Generally great app, very useful for easier browsing. I would have given 5 stars, but it seems to struggle to show videos properly, especially YouTube. The image shifts to the left, cutting off maybe 5-10% of the video. Also, I cannot find a clear way to leave feedback or communicate with the developer.

I used to love this app, but lately, it has gotten really glitchy. When I open the app to type in a url, the previous web page gets reloaded, which interrupts my typing by making the keyboard disappear. If it did this once, it wouldn't be a huge issue, but it does this a couple times. Imagine typing the url in and it bugs out 2 or 3 times and you have retype the url that many times to finally get to where you want.

This app used to work great at loading sites without ads (albeit slowly), but recently I've noticed that all the sites I try to open with adblock browser return an error to the likes of "can't communicate with server" or some such nonsense. I don't know what happened, but a browser that won't load websites at all is useless to me. I'll keep trying for a bit longer before I give up and uninstall...

I originally gave 3 stars last year and I kept trying other Ad Blockers. NOW! I have a Samsung S10+, close to 1.5 TB of storage, cache is clear. No viruses or malate etc etc etc. This has been getting worse and worse as the UI just faltered. NOW when you watch a video in portrait mode half of the video is cut off. Full screen landscape? About 1/5 of the bottom is gone. If you try to line up the video it gets smaller and smaller on the top and bottom. This USED to be so good.

All of the features of AdBlock Plus, right on your smartphone! I've been using this service for years and when YouTube started increasing the number of ads on videos as well as adding intrusive ones within the videos, it was time for a change. I was also paying for YouTube Music because it was ad-free and had all of my music. Not anymore! The subscription is canceled and AdBlock Browser is my new go-to.

I believe this app is abandoned. Since I last downloaded it, the original Firefox had multiple updates, but this app hasn't been updated for 1.5 years. I have been experiencing multiple issues with the app. It still works good enough, but for how long? I loved this app, because it's hard finding extensions for the Firefox app, and the ad blocker continues to work perfectly. However, I am forced to find an alternative.

I found this Browser when I was looking for a better one than the one I had. So far it is deffinately an improvement. Loads everything efficiently and I think faster. Does keep a tally of adds blocked, reminds me when I'm still in incognito mode. It works well enough for me to abandon my other browsers which has an added benefit of streamlining my browsing. A good app.

While slow, it was a fine browser to use for blocking ads before the major update. However, it is now slower, clunkier, and freezes more often than the previous version. Also, I really hate the new layout. This update was complete unnecessary in my opinion. I am going to either roll back to a previous version or just switch to a different browser altogether.

I've long been a fan of the Adblock Plus desktop plugin and use it on all of the browsers on my laptop. So, when I saw this new Adblock Browser for Android on the Play Store - created by the same developers who created the desktop plugin - I became very excited and installed it on my phone immediately. Unfortunately, just a short time later I uninstalled it. The problem: This browser currently has no provision for importing bookmarks from other browsers, like Chrome and Edge. Since I have a very extensive collection of bookmarks that I use regularly, on both Chrome and Edge, this browser is, again unfortunately, useless to me, and the lack of a bookmark import function is what has caused my low rating. If the developers do add a feature to allow the importing of bookmarks from other browsers, I will then install this app on my phone once again, because, aside from this shortcoming (which is a major one) the browser functions very well.

Great... when it works.. Half the time it works just fine. Blocks the ads you don't want to see. The other half of the time it forget that it's supposed to block ads, so that ALL of them show up. Crashes when you try to open it, or just freezes and won't open at all. The only solution I've found to the freezing/freaking problems is to uninstall it, then redownload it. I've done this enough, I'm sick of it. Going to find a browser that works.
