Click on *Tools*, then *Add-ons* - or, hit Ctrl/Shift/A - and you'll find out.

I use Adblock which seems to be unaffected by version 57. I updated my PC yesterday to the new version and that is working perfectly. It certainly is faster now.

I must admit I do not have many add ons just basic stuff you need. My version 57 is running perfectly on my laptop and my PC. Both have Windows 10. :thumbright:

Slightly faster than the old one. I quite liked the websites I had pinned on a "new" screen or tab so I could access them quickly. The newer one seems to have a limit on the number displayed.

As for Adblock, I understand they get paid to allow certain adverts through. I've switched to uBlock.
