Sometimes you might need to turn off AdBlock without removing it from your browser entirely. For instance, a news site might ask you to turn off your ad blocker to read an article. You have options other than turning off AdBlock. However, the easiest solution is just to pause it, allowing ads to show until you tell AdBlock to resume blocking them.
