Avast Secure Browser AdBlock not working
« on: March 31, 2021, 08:36:13 PM »
Hello everyone,

I have a Dell laptop (Windows 10) and my browser is Avast Secure Browser. The Adblock has stopped working (not blocking ads) in Youtube? Please help.

Thank you

The Adblock issue: refer to https://support.avast.com/en-au/article/29/#idt_3994 Open the Security and Priviacy Centre/Adblock/Settings and set it to Essential and it should work as it used to.

Thank you for getting back to me. Sadly this solution is not working  for me.

I've got the same issue. I've tried switching to each level of blocking as well

I have the same issue. It was rectified once but has since happened again. This time doing the same steps (reinstall) didn't work.

I am having the same problem in May 2021 after the browser update a few days ago. I even tried setting it to the highest setting but on all websites tons of ads and pop ups are getting through.

I got to the part that says to use the "background.html" button but there is no such thing on the page and what is the "adblock panel" because I don't see that, either.
