Because I just can't imagine my browser without them :)

Have you tried uBlock instead of AdBlock? I've like it much better since switching

Just curious, why specifically AdBlock and not ABP?

Adblock Plus has completely sold out due to their ''acceptable ads'' policy which whitelists 300+ ad feeds including most native ad networks (taboola, outbrain) and even some banner display ads now - basically, anybody who will pay them a little ransom. How can you claim to be an adblock client when you purposefully don't block the majority of ads?!

Adblock is a category of apps not a single company. There are plenty of alternatives to support. As mentioned, uBlock is excellent. I hope they don't pursue the same commercial path as they become more popular.
