AdNauseam is praised for its innovative ad blocking technique that disables ads while supporting content creators and enhancing privacy. Users value it as a socially conscious alternative to traditional ad blockers. However, common issues include crashing on YouTube due to anti-adblock measures and persistent update nags in the current Edge versions. Users also note that the underlying uBlock engine is outdated, and there are concerns about a lack of recent updates. Pros
- Effectively blocks ads and pop-ups on websites, providing a better browsing experience.
- Implements a unique approach by clicking ads in the background without displaying them, thus confusing advertisers while supporting content creators.
- Considered a socially aware ad blocker that reduces the value of targeted advertising and enhances user privacy.
- Widely appreciated by users and recommended as a must-have ad blocker.
- Works on multiple devices and has strong user loyalty.
Cons
- The extension can crash on YouTube, especially with the site's new anti-adblock systems, requiring users to disable it on that platform.
- The Edge Webstore version is outdated and nags users about updates, while the GitHub version nags about side loading, with no option to disable these notices.
- The uBlock backend used is not up-to-date, with users requesting updates to current versions (e.g., from 1.52 to 1.53).
- Some users feel the extension has been abandoned due to lack of updates and support.

| 2025-05-31 | Du***** | | PLEASE update the webstore version! The github version nags at every startup for being side loaded. - this is impossible to disable (thanks microsoft) The webstore version nags at every start up about being out of date!! |
| 2025-01-25 | Jo***** | | I've been using and Evangelizing for AdNauseum for years. People love uBlock Origin - But AdNauseum is the socially-aware option that poisons the Advertisers' data-harvesting by making it *untrustworthy*. It makes the browsing experience better for everyone by pushing the value of targeted user data toward zero. For YT - just get Premium. Why? Because YT splits Premium Revenue with creators just like AdRev. 55/45. So 55% of your sub ($7-8 worth) goes directly to Creators (call it $22 RPM vs $3 RPM for Ads, so...way better for Creators overall), ...and the other 45% goes to running the Infrastructure. The only person YT Premium is bad for in the deal is the Advertisers. Premium for YT - For everything else, there's AdNauseum. |

| 2024-08-01 | Wa***** | | Fantástico!!!!!! |
| 2024-04-15 | ***** | | Does nothing it quit working some time ago. I guess they have abandoned this great idea.. |
| 2023-11-21 | Je***** | | Any chance you'll release an update with the uBlock back-end up-to-date? Everyone else is using 1.53, this is using 1.52 |
| 2023-11-07 | Ru***** | | Excellent! The best Ad Blocker in the world! |
| 2023-11-07 | Co***** | | Great Ad Blocker that "clicks" on all ads in the background, but doesn't load the media. Which means advertisers are paying but I'm not seeing the ads! |
| 2023-10-25 | Ja***** | | You were excellent until Youtube's new anti-adblocker system detected your plugin. Still use you for other sites but have to disable you for Youtube now. |
| 2023-08-28 | Mu***** | | Adblocker rekomendasi, iklan pop up, banner di libas habis bahkan situs yang menggunakan deteksi adblocker tidak terdeteksi saat menggunakan ekstensi adblocker ini. |
