And here we are... that's why AdBlockPlus isn't reliable anymore. They started with helping the user getting rid of all the ad-ridden websites and now they are monetizing it (not that it is wrong, but there should be another way - they are crippling their product).

Currently I'm using uBlock on all browsers using EasyList blocklists on all browsers.
