Review Summary
Users generally appreciate Adaware AdBlock for its effective ad blocking, silent background operation, and ability to reduce annoying ads. Many find it better than other ad blockers and recommend trying it. However, there are recurring complaints about its failure to block ads on major sites (YouTube, Yahoo Mail), the extension turning off on its own, limited customization of filters, and occasional nuisance pop-ups. Interface design problems and usability issues are also mentioned. Overall, it performs well but has notable limitations on some websites and user controls.

- Operates quietly in the background without user intervention.
- Consistently works 24/7 once installed, requiring no updates or maintenance.

Cons
- Fails to block ads on certain platforms like YouTube and specific sites such as TEMU and Yahoo Mail.
- Sometimes disables itself automatically, especially noted with Yahoo Mail.
- Does not allow users to create their own filters or easily manage filter lists.
- Users experience pop-ups and redirections even after installation.
- Interface issues, including unreadable settings and poor user experience.
