Adblock Plus No Longer Blocking Stuff? (Must Pay?)

[kyphysics]

Approximately two weeks ago, I noticed my ABP not blocking ads on Twitter. This then spread to YouTube and other sites.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. There is a "honor"ware page, whereby you can "donate" an amount you can afford.

I skipped that page after installation (i.e., closed it and didn't donate at all). I've never paid for ABP and wasn't sure if that was truly just a "donation" page or if you needed to pay something (even if just $5 - the min. they'll take) for ABP to start blocking ads again.

Has anyone else experienced this?

No, I've not experienced this.

Have you tried to diagnose using Google search? Often when things change people comment on it on Reddit and other sites so please search this issue before asking PF folks to search it for you.

If you still use ABP in 2023, you're doing something very, very wrong. It's been ages Ublock Origin beats ABP in terms of efficiency and blocking capability.
