It doesn't work? Not sure where the positive reviews are coming from.


Lynx Ng April 6th, 2023

Was a decent blocker until recently when it started to push for its Pro features. Poper Blocker's own ad replaced some of the normal ads and it was starkly showing on my dark mode browser, making it way more intrusive than the ads it was supposed to block.


Cee April 5th, 2023

was a 5/5 blocker till yesterday, something changed over night that just completely broke this, pop-up ads, pop-up video players, those hidden buttons that opens up a new spam page when you click on the website blank parts, all these stuff that I downloaded this extension to block, and which it was blocking just fine up to yesterday is suddenly everywhere today, what happened

The pro subscription does not actually work. Redirects are happening as usual, pop-ups are usual and sometimes redirects happens on the same tab when it used to create a new tab prior to the subscription pro.

Doesn't block a single popup and creates it's own. Removed!

Scam! They charged $20 that I never authorized, and the customer support button always has a server error. It also doesn't block most popups.


Adrian Lyons March 19th, 2023

Latest version 6.1.1 is locking out control of site notifications. Even with notification blocking turned off globally, it is still blocking the ability to enable/disable notifications on a site specific basis. Yes, I refreshed the page after chaning the setting. Disabling the addon cleared up the problem, but only while it's disabled. Turning it back on brings back the problem. Also, while I understand everyone needs to make a few bucks to pay the bills. AD blocking behind a Pro paywall is dissapointing.

It worked for a few months of websites I used to watch southpark but now it does not work anymore. I didnt touch any settings it just stopped working. is their a fix for this?

Used to be good but now they are collecting data (Web history, The list of web pages a user has visited, as well as associated data such as page title and time of visit) trying to sell the Pro version by making it distractive and flashy... "Very good extension and work very well on most websites and popup tricks."


Tran Sport March 8th, 2023

used to be okay but it is now putting ads on my pages to try and sell their pro features thereby rendering it annoying and becoming useless, not too far from removing it permanently now

Tiger Falco March 6th, 2023

It was a very good pop up blocker up until recently. It blocks some downloads which is fine, the issue is that when I whitelist a site it doesn't seem to work. In a previous iteration it used to have a list of all the popups that were blocked, so even if there was a page or download you wanted that got blocked, you could click on it to open it. I miss that feature because now when it blocks stuff I want to open I can't make it stop outside of removing the extension. Please fix this or I will find something else.


Gabriele “Asbesto” Zaverio March 5th, 2023
Gabriele “Asbesto” Zaverio

I was happy to use it but now I have those annoying facebook "pro" things. What's the matter of having something that filter out annoying stuff, that pops up annoying stuff? If this isn't changing in a while I'm going to remove this addon, sorry


Mike Six March 2nd, 2023

Turns into nag ware for it's "pro", that are more of an annoyance than the popups that it blocks. Not to mention that the default settings interfered with some of my banking functions. I'm pulling it off my computer now!

Blocks downloads too. I guess this is a good thing, but only if it immediately allows the downloads when you turn the blocker off, but nope, continues blocking them forcing me to reload the page, and lose my download. So yeah, I'm pissed.

It used to be really good however, over the past year or so it stopped blocking a lot of pop-ups. I have to manually remove pop-ups and overlays constantly.

As I said long ago(beginning of 2019), as far as I tried pop ups blockers this is by far the easiest to use, clean, fast and doing a great job at it, even if it didn't (happens) u can easily manually do it once and it gone forever. So yes 5 stars.


CaptainElemental February 13th, 2023

It can block basic and regular pop-ups, but the more advanced and troublesome pop-ups slip by it. It's unfortunate, since the ones that get by are the stuff like inappropriate game ads and scam offers.

Hilarious the way this company advertises itself as an app that prevents popups and annoyances and then, in their thirst for money, turns into the number 1 leading cause of popups and annoyances on my computer. I'm gonna uninstall the hell out of this thing.

Used to be good, but now it keeps showing pop ups by itself to promote cookie messages blocking. Bruh. Beyond annoying and completely defeats its sole purpose. Uninstalled.

I am not paying $19.08 for something that I didn't eveen know was installed. It does nothing, and then they slam a charge on you without any warning. They know that nobody would pay even a dime for an app that quietly sits doing nothing. Google, this extension does not belong on the web store.

Hunter David January 26th, 2023

What's with the snowflakes and flying reindeer on the settings page? What is the purpose of implementing a completely useless and highly distracting "feature" like this? What is the purpose of forcing it on users, without a means of disabling it (that doesn't require using Developer Tools)? If the goal is to annoy and frustrate, then mission accomplished. In fact, I'm so annoyed and frustrated that I'm going to delete the extension and use one of the countless alternatives. But not before first leaving this review, to highlight just how stupid and pointless and annoying that confetti is. "A distraction-free browsing experience starts today." Ha.

Used to be the best, until they made what they supposed to blocked. and no, clicking X on your ads does not remove it, it keep showing. Anyway thank you for your work for years, just change bit your revenue style.

New review: As everyone can see from my last review, I realy liked this piece of software. Now I have removed it from my browser, it started doing exactly the oposite of what it should do, started showing pop-ups recently and overlays on social media sites. Searching for alternatives, this one is best left alone. Old review: Working as described, had no problems with it. Keep up good work! :)


Madi January 17th, 2023
Madi

It was good while it lasted but I am going to have to remove it. 1.) Intrusive popup ads (precisely what anyone who installs this is seeking to avoid, ironically) from the extension itself begging you to upgrade, something I actually would have seriously considered had they not started shoving it down my throat, and 2.) poor performance - my browser DOM now hangs for 1-2 seconds after loading certain webpages on several sites (probably ones with blocked popups). Perhaps something in the code could be done more efficiently...

Jonathan Cook January 14th, 2023

Like many others here, I used this app for years without any issue and all of a sudden when trying to browse pages such as Facebook there is a huge beige overlay taking up the entire screen that cannot be removed. Shame that the app now needs to be a money grab. Installed it again just to review and uninstall once more. Hope you can fix this as it seems to be a common theme across the board now.


Srikar Bollavaram January 14th, 2023
Srikar Bollavaram

I can tolerate a few self-promotion ads but the Facebook self promotions are absurd. If I click the x to close it, my page refreshes so I lose my current feed. Now there's a bug where the self-promotion overlay covers the entire feed instead of one ad.


Logan England January 14th, 2023
Logan England

Like many folks has reported, I happily used this extension for years and it was great. Recently that changed and every 3-4 facebook posts and on several other sites I got pop ups asking me to subscribe, and now the pop up has malfunctioned and wrecked the ability to see facebook, you only see the ad. This doesn't exactly instill confidence that this is a well functioning app that one would want to pay a monthly subscription for.


Renée McDonald January 14th, 2023
Renée McDonald

This used to be a great app. Now it has essentially hijacked my Facebook feed, rendering it completely useless. Whereas I used to be able to just click the X and go on with my scrolling, now the clicking the X does absolutely nothing, and as of this morning, no X is visible and one large yellow overlay is across my entire feed. I'm sorry, but I supported you for years and now this I must move on to a different extension. I hope to return in the future if your mistakes are corrected.


Anna January 13th, 2023
Anna

genuinely loved this extension before the new update. i don't mind it as much on twitter when i can just click the x to close the highlighted ad, but that doesn't work on facebook. no matter how many times you click the x, it makes facebook unscrollable.


Ally January 13th, 2023
Ally

Used to be really good. Used it for years. When they went to paid model, I didnt mind the small inserts in the social media feed advertising their product. (ironic tho) but then they made facebook literally un-scrollable without clicking the free trial button and now i'm uninstalling it.


Angela Hare June 27th, 2017

AWESOME!! I watch *cough*free*cough* movies online and AdBlock Plus never took care of the video's automatic popup ads but this extension does. Finally a pop up blocker to make sure those types of pop ups doesn't sneak up on my screen. THANK YOU! 2023 update: It now wants me to pay a monthly or yearly fee and it hides my Facebook feed with a large yellow block until I choose free trial or sign up. So that just put you guys to 1 star for me. Do better. I'll stick with F.B. Purity.


Nepprai Juynial January 13th, 2023

How ironic you have became the very thing you swore to stop. I could tolerate you monetize it. But now, you're going a little too far by inserting your ads into the social media page to advertise your premium ad blocking feature. Sorry but no thank you, I have other extension for adblocking, no need yours. Worse, your ads injection is so buggy, it turned a huge portion of the webpage beyond what the screen can show into an empty orange void. While I can easily circumvent this, I'm not so sure about other users, so let this review be the warning to those attempt to use this extension. They need to know what they are getting.

Ambrose January 11th, 2023

I came here to let everyone know not to download this extension because it's started showing it's own popup ads.. but it seems like everyone else beat me to it lol Don't download it - it used to be an incredible extension. I used it for years. But now it self-advertises on some websites, begging you to buy its premium version. Which kinda defeats the original purpose lol It's also started not to work properly and lets popups through more often than it should. Another money-hungry freemium service. Skip it. Chrome's internal popup blocker actually works really well. Or just use uBlock Origin. ***also, this company not addressing the legitimate issue of annoying self-promotion and just copy-pasting a condescending response is also pretty telling...***


Lucas Ken January 10th, 2023

Now generates its own popups as well as injects ads in to websites like twitter in order to encourage you to pay for their pro service and defeating the purpose of the plugin to begin with.

They propose that you pay 1.59$ monthly or 19.08$ yearly for Pro version. I installed the free version because I was looking for something that can block cookies notifications, Nothing works the extension didn't block anything ? ?


Mister GiGs January 7th, 2023
Mister GiGs

This once great extension is now trash tier. It actually generates more adds, popups and nagging annoyances than it was installed to prevent. The devs response to all these issues (of their own making) seems to be "Pay Us Money", which is probably on the more stupid end of the scale when it comes to responses. Way to destroy your own product with your own greed. I wish I could give this zero stars its that egregiously bad. Uninstalled for life.

Recent updates added popups and ads for the extension in your twitter feed and in small corner popups. Whats the point of having a popup blocker thats going to give me popups? Please allow users to opt out of this disgusting behavior or I will find another popup blocking extension. Its like if adblock were to put ads into your webpages, makes no sense. Please shape up and get better.


Gonçalo Gaspar December 17th, 2018
Gonçalo Gaspar

When I first instaled this extencion it worked great, blocking most pop-ups, it still does that, but as many before me have pointed out it now creates their own pop-ups. Has Poper Blocker also have pointed out their base feature of blocking pop-ups has remained free and still works, NO Poper Blocker when you are creating your own pop-ups you are not blocking pop-ups therefore it is not free to block pop-ups. The default pop-up blocker in Chrome is now advance enough to block most pop-ups, if you need smothing more powerful give Popup Blocker (strict) a try. For more privacy focused experience I would recomend switching to Brave Browser, it is build on top o Chrome so anything you do on chrome you can do in Brave but you don't ever need any Ad or pop-up blocker.


Captain Jimbo January 5th, 2023
Captain Jimbo

The extension that promises to remove annoying distractions has now become the most annoying distraction on my browser! Constant pop ups of it's own pushing the PRO version, the worst of which is the one creating a huge yellow block around facebook ads that fills the screen. Not even going to attempt to turn this feature off, I'm removing the extension. Nice work Poper Blocker!


Camiel Gardiner January 5th, 2023
Camiel Gardiner

I used this for a long time, I even tried giving it the benefit with the cookie pop ups. But it's gotten so irritating and you can't even make the cookie pop up from the extension itself go away for very long before it comes back! It's premium package is just blocking cookie messages which might cause websites to crash cause you're not enabling functional cookies and then blocking ads on social media. Thanks bud but I already have an adblocker and I don't have to pay for it.


Semilore Olagunju January 4th, 2023
Semilore Olagunju

They became what they swore to destroy. All it does is make its own pop-ups to advertise their "pro/premium" version. (Very intrusive and annoying) This is disappointing because it was good before the update.

DLA January 4th, 2023

A year ago this used to work great, now all it does is generate endless pop ups itself. It begs for money, offers to block cookies for you but if you click yes it redirects you to their site asking you to pay for that service, etc. Got a message today that my "free trial" expired so it would stop blocking altogether unless I paid for it? Absolutely avoid this one and save yourself the headache. Also GOOGLE you need to fix this issue where I have to install the extension to write a review about it. If something is malicious and I uninstall it I should still be able to write a review about my experience without having to reinstall. You obviously have a record of me using the extension regardless whether or not it is installed currently.

Used to be a useful extension. These days it creates many more pop-ups than it actually blocks. Stick to uBlock Origin and Chrome's built-in pop-up blocking, it works just fine. Try "Popup Blocker (strict)" if a particular site has any intrusive pop-ups.


kuebik-o January 3rd, 2023

this WAS a good extension at one point.. until they started shoving these dumb little ads in your face screaming "buy me, buy me!!!!" what's the point of a pop up blocker if it's just going to advertise itself to you lmao. what a waste. you can see other people are also complaining of this new """feature""" that they've decided to add, and instead of taking this feedback into account and thinking "hm maybe we should remove that kind of thing," they just double down and go "well our extension is free to use, we just have a Premium Package that offers even more services" as if that was even the point in the first place. way to deflect and ignore the feedback you're getting just because you want to milk money from the people who are using this extension - which is real rich considering what the intial /point/ of the extension was for anyway. you'd think the creators would understand but nope! keep begging for money and pissing your users off lol

Goggles Tigerkhan

an option to turn off the premium nags would be nice, but you'd probably lock that behind a paywall too. the moment you monetized this extension, it became trash. shame on you. we deserve better than having a bunch of greedy people beg for our money like an overprivileged white child.


NamelessX January 1st, 2023
NamelessX

I was extremely disappointed with this popup blocker. Despite claiming to block all popups, it actually doesn't block any ads unless you pay for the pro version. What a ripoff! I don't mind paying for a good product, but this one is just a scam. The free version is completely useless. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one. There are plenty of other popup blockers out there that actually do what they promise.

Was great, but recently getting more ads from the ad blocker than I am from anywhere else. The annoying "Ready to remove all ads?" is, by FAR, the most common ad I'm getting lately. Time to search for an alternative. :(

Making people pay for your service is like the websites we go to asking us to pay them to not have ads. I refuse to pay anyone.


Zest Yolu December 19th, 2022
Zest Yolu

If you give it a 5-star, the extension says "We love you too". It's kinda cute. It does it's job really well. Using it vs not using it, gives a huge difference because some website random sends you a pop up if you left anywhere on the website which is annoying. The extension solves that.


Evan Chapin December 17th, 2022

Despite the annoying ads for premium features it is still a good extension. However I recently received a notification from Microsoft Edge stating it contained malware so I will no longer be using it.

Used to work previously but is now trying to monetize you by asking you to pay for premium or add ads, garbage

Used to be amazing. But now, they've become the very thing they promised to get rid of: annoying. It's okay if you added some pro features, but I don't want them. So, STOP showing me annoying messages for that. If you want me to subscribe to your service to hide cookie messages, congratulations, now I have to pop up messages to hide. BriLliAnT!


Dam December 10th, 2022

It was honestly an alright app when I used it, it blocked some of the more invasive pop ups that would appear when visiting dubious sites, but now that it's demanding money and giving me a 'free trial' I'll have to pass on it and find another app.

This used to be a useful extension that did exactly what I needed it to but now it's demanding money, it no longer wants to remove overlays without getting more information on me and the sites I visit (which wasn't needed before but now they want to harvest data so they are demanding that for the basic service they should be providing), and they are constantly hitting me up to sign up for a paid service. Pass on this. There are just as good free options not trying to heist your data and funds.

Brandon J December 5th, 2022

Literally...It does NOTHING. This thing couldn't block a single pop up on anything. I don't know why it was ever installed. The only thing it seems to block is money from people's wallets. NEXT

Love the extension Felt the need to write this because of all the crybabies whining about it not "beeing free"; the basic features stayed free, the new (OPTIONAL) ones are paid


Martin (iMarbot) December 5th, 2022
Martin (iMarbot)

Used to allow hiding the "popup blocked" message per-website so that it didn't annoy you every time a popup gets blocked on a spammy website, but that no longer seems to be a thing. Sad. Things (as all other reviews say) seem to have gone downhill FAST since they started adding the paid stuff. And no, I don't want to try or pay for the premium stuff, I don't need it. I have uBlock Origin for that. This used to be a simple and effective popup blocker and now it's just shovelware.

another great extension ruined by soulless money grabbing. ive had this extension for years with no trouble and just 3 minutes ago I was served a pop-up asking for money and now I have a three day "trial." just another reflection into the type of world we live in nowadays...

By far the best distraction remover from my browser. No more pop ups from every site i visit and you can even get rid of overlays that don't let you read an article without logging in.. Def recommended!

It was a great extension until they added their own notification asking the user if he wants to also hide cookie consent banners. If the user is not interested in such feature, said notification appears basically in every website! I have read that they are planning on allowing users to disable such notifications, an in that case I will be happy to change this review. Until then, a big nope!


Terry Watson November 22nd, 2022
Terry Watson

Was great. Now it doesn't block as much as it used to. It also has its own spammy popups now. Only way to get it to work the way it used to? Pay for it! This may as well become a premium only extension. The free version is trash.


Zsolt Lázár November 21st, 2022
Zsolt Lázár

I used to love this tool, until it started to show its own popups and recommendations. Also, it doesn't automatically block new popups anymore. It also severely impacts page load performance, especially for large pages such as single-page documentations. The woocommerce API documentation used to take almost a full minute to fully load, but I've managed to isolate it to this one plugin, and now after removing it, the page loads in less than a second.


Crimson Alexander November 20th, 2022

used to be super helpful, now tempted to remove it due to the cookie reminder being just as prolific and annoying as cookie popups themselves :/


Ben Comfort November 18th, 2022

Used this for years only to drop it like a hot stone when it started creating ITS OWN POPUPS. Now the devs are trying to spin it as positive instead of coming up with different funding methods. I only reinstalled so I could leave this review, but I hope you guys come up with something better than becoming the very thing you sought to destroy.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. This extension just become the latter because of their own anoying popups. Uninstall


Daniel Knight November 4th, 2022
Daniel Knight

The app does work and works well, however, i sent a message to the developers to ask how to prevent the app itself from displaying pop-ups and was told that this was an intentional FEATURE to let us know that the app is working. So this app prevents pop-ups from appearing on websites and shows a pop-up to let you know it has done this. I'm already searching for a more appropriate blocker as this extension is not fit for purpose and you should consider an other extension before resorting to using this one.

What's the point of a popup blocker that loads its own popup every time you get a notice about cookies? Uninstalled. Easily the most annoying extension I had installed. At this point, it's basically just adware for itself.

This was a very good blocker UNTIL my laptop got extremely laggy, i did what i needed to do to fix the lag just to see that ALL of my ad blockers crashed, and this was one of them, i went to add this back on only to see that NOW yall are only for people who PAYS for it, yall used to be free like what happened? It was good while it lasted. but it was such a disappointment that yall changed on us free people.

"You have become the very thing you swore to destroy!" It was a really good extension that worked really well and blocked 99% of popups and overlays. Now, however it became an extension that shows ads in every page to convince you to subscribe to their Pro subscription.

It's a pop-up blocker - yet it gives you pop-ups. You can get people to buy premium in other ways, going against the function of the extension makes the app have little value.

Hate the pro feature popups, they should really be mutable - it defeats the purpose. But worse!! It destroys the Google Cloud Console UI, 2/5 times resources will not load - even when asking the extension to NOT block anything, it still seem to modify the page enough to break it.


John Zhang September 12th, 2022

Original 2018 review: Great. Pop unders were a pain - not anymore! UPDATE 2022: I have been using this extension for over 5 years and now all it does is constantly advertise gold features, I don't mind one or two but this is relentless and it shouldn't be modifying page content like that. All the extension does now is get in the way.

If you hate being distracted by pop ups, *don't* get this extension. It generates its *own* popups asking you to pay, not only that but it pops up several times on websites and pages which aren't producing pop ups. What use is a pop up blocker which generates pop ups? AVOID

Past review: It's not perfect yet, but...... it's just simply amazing! Less popups and that overlay removal.... that's a great feature! Thank you for that! Recent review: Though it would be nice, that if it stop pop ups on websites, to not have it's own pop ups advertising paying for the extension.. Get sick of closing them down instead now. Current review: Well, it was good while it lasted. You better buy their pro version or it basically gives more popups than it removes. No thanks! Cookie popups? Nope, it doesn't get rid of those.. It just adds a new popup next to it advertising the pro version!

Muhammad Khoirun Nasikin

was good before, but worse now. It's ok if they has free and pain version. but, the free version is somewhat more and more hard to use. for example, I already whitelist a site, yet it's pop-up still blocked, then on other site, the pop-up not blocked event the extension is active and the site isn't in the whitelist. Conclusion: at current version, this ext pretty hard to use, you don't know whether this ext really active or not.
