We recently released a new version of AdBlock for Chrome, AdBlock for Edge, and AdBlock for Firefox. We’re happy to announce that this update includes a fix to the issues some users were experiencing on YouTube and allows AdBlock to successfully block ads without the white screen overlay that was displaying before some videos.

If you’re already using AdBlock, there’s nothing you need to do to get this update. AdBlock updates itself automatically each time you open your browser. If you’re not sure which version of AdBlock you’re using, open the AdBlock menu (the AdBlock icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser) and select the gear icon to access your AdBlock options page. The version number will be listed in the lower left-hand corner just below our privacy policy.

In order to download the latest version of AdBlock, simply visit getadblock.com from the browser of your choice. If you run into any trouble, visit our Help Center or send us a line at help@getadblock.com. We’re always happy to hear from you!
