I cannot use anything Google related

Post by Shizzbizz1992 »

I cannot load my email, google photos, google drive, or google maps. It says 'waiting for extension Adblock Plus...' and the extension probably isn't responding at all, because I've let it try to load for about 20 minutes and it did nothing. I, straight up, could not even access my email to verify my account for this forum, because of it. Going to anything google starts this issue, if I didn't go to anything Google then it would be fine.

When this 'waiting for extension Adblock Plus...' is on one tab, then every other tab I open stops responding.

I've had Adblock Plus installed for 3 months and it has never done this before.

Everything works fine after I removed it

It's a bug in ABP
https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/7065

You have 2 options until the devs can reproduce and fix the issue:

1. add this filter

Code: Select all

@@||mail.google.com
but you'll get ads too
2. disable ABP and install other (very strong) adblocker: ublock origin (uBo):
