Adblock Options Not Showing



The 'Block element' option, which lets you select and lock a particular element of the page, does not appear within the AdBlock Plus menu in Microsoft Edge browser. Expected behaviour The 'block element' should be displayed within the AdBlock Plus menu in Microsoft Edge the same way as happens in other browsers (Firefox and Google Chrome). If you can't see the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar, first make sure that AdBlock is installed. If AdBlock is installed but you don't see the icon, follow these steps to un-hide it. On the other side Adblock still works great with Mozilla Firefox and I am forced to use it. Most of the times now instead of IE. Any help or recommendation would be very appreciated. ( by the way I hope I posted this question in the right forum and it is allowed to use. Other registered names I felt were needed to make my question clear ).

Are you trying to watch a video or read an article on a site that doesn't allow ad blockers? Do you want to support a site you love by allowing it to show you ads? This is known as 'allowlisting' the site. There are several ways to allowlist a site and stop AdBlock from blocking ads.


Note: The methods described below work in your desktop browser. Here's how to pause AdBlock on your mobile device. Here's how to allow ads on websites on your iPhone or iPad.

  1. If you need to white-list the site you are trying to visit, click the ad-blocker icon in the browser’s tool bar and look for the option to pause or disable the current filtering.
  2. Another solution is to update the Filter list of Adblock manually. Take these steps to do so. First of all, select the Adblock icon on the browser and right-click on it. After that, click on the Options section and then select the Filter option. Now, click on the Update Filter list. Wait until the process gets completed.


To always allow ads to show on the site you're currently visiting, open the AdBlock menu, select Don't run on pages on this site (Chrome) or Don't run on pages on this domain (all other browsers) and click Exclude.


AdBlock will not block ads on any page in any tab on the current site, but will still block them on other sites.


To start blocking ads on that site again:

  • Click the AdBlock button and select Enable AdBlock on this page.


If you don't see that on the AdBlock menu, try removing the exception rule manually:

  1. Open the AdBlock menu (the AdBlock icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser) and select the gear icon
  2. On the Customize tab next to 'Manually edit your filters,' click Edit
  3. Delete any line containing the name of the website
  4. Click Save
  5. Go back to the page you were viewing and reload it

To always allow ads to show on the page you're currently viewing, open the AdBlock menu and select Don't run on this page. This creates an allowlist rule in AdBlock.


Tip: Allowlist rules are also known as exception rules—or sometimes exclusion rules—because they tell ad blockers to make an exception for or exclude whatever the rule refers to.

Adblock Plus Firefox Not Working

If you prefer to allow ads on most sites, only blocking them on specific sites, you can set AdBlock to default to 'off.' We call this running AdBlock in 'Allow Ads Mode,' showing ads on all websites, and blocking them only where you tell it to.


Allow Ads Mode is similar to simply pausing AdBlock on all sites. Unlike pausing, in Allow Ads Mode you can still block ads on some websites, and AdBlock will remain in Allow Ads Mode until you turn it off.

To use AdBlock in Allow Ads Mode:

  1. Open the AdBlock menu (the AdBlock icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser)
  2. Select the gear icon to open your Options page
  3. Click the Customize tab on the left
  4. Scroll down to 'Stop blocking ads' and select 'Show ads everywhere except for these domains'
  5. Add any sites where you prefer to keep ads blocked. This overides all other filters.

Exception (allowlist) rules always override blocking rules. If there is a particular ad you want to see, you can use AdBlock's resource page to create an exception to the rule that's blocking it.

If you can't see the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar, first make sure that AdBlock is installed. If AdBlock is installed but you don't see the icon, follow these steps to un-hide it.
