Does it roll XP/Opera 36 users back to the last verion that worked for us? I’m stuck in limbo at the moment on 3.7 which blocks ads but doesn’t let me access the controls.
Reply from Thomas Greiner:
We stopped supporting Opera 36 with the release of Adblock Plus 3.7 and we updated the extension’s manifest file according to Opera’s instructions (see https://dev.opera.com/extensions/manifest/#minimum_opera_version). Therefore Opera shouldn’t have updated the extension beyond 3.6.3 for anyone who’s stuck on Windows XP.
It sounds like they did, however, so we’ll look into what happened there. In the meantime, you can find and download all previous updates from https://hg.adblockplus.org/downloads/file. Search for “adblockpluschrome” to find the extension files for modern Opera.

How do I back off from Adblock so it doesn’t block as much as it does.Some items that I would like to view are getting blocked when I click on it.A red page pops up and covers the page.I would like to stop it from popping up.Please let me know how to take care of this now.
Reply from Thomas Greiner:
If you’re using Firefox, there is a problem where some user’s settings aren’t being saved, making the extension think that it has been newly installed each time the browser starts.
Unfortunately, this issue needs to be fixed by Firefox but some users are able to avoid it by reinstalling Adblock Plus. You can find more information about it at https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/Stop-Firefox-Recurring-Tab.

Thankyou for the reply Thomas. Just to add, I’ve just been auto-updated again to version 3.8.1.
