User reviews
AdBlock Max is praised internationally for effectively blocking YouTube and general ads when other blockers fail. Users appreciate its lightweight nature and the ability to block ads without disrupting site layouts. However, it often doesn't auto-skip video ads, requiring manual input, and sometimes its control panel is unresponsive. Occasional complaints include unexpected pop-ups from the extension and sporadic malfunctions or auto-uninstallations following website updates.
Pros
- Effectively blocks YouTube ads when other ad blockers fail.
- Works well in removing advertisements without causing websites to request ad blocker disabling.
- Highly recommended by users from various countries and languages.
- Lightweight alternative to uBlock Origin with good ad blocking performance.
- Blocks ads while maintaining website layout without showing blank ad spaces.
Cons
- Does not actually skip video ads but hides them or requires manual clicking on 'skip'.
- At times the ad blocker panel is unresponsive or does not open.
- Some users reported unexpected pop-up ads originating from the extension itself.
- May unintentionally block non-ad content or cause malfunction over time.
- Reported instability with some users experiencing auto-uninstall or failure after YouTube changes.
