I was wondering why I was beginning to see a certain amount of annoying animated ads with AD+ installed. Now I know it's because they are selling out their users for money.
Time to dump this garbage and get a better ad blocker. If I had wanted to see ads I wouldn't have installed it in the first place. Note that I'm only bothered by animated ads, which most are. If they had nice stationary banner ads I'd never block them and think they add character to some sites, especially tech sites like this one.
ADBLOCK PLUS has been taking money from major tech companies to have their ads unblocked.
Google was the first company revealed to have paid for whitelisting with the popular advert blocking extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, but now it appears that Amazon and Microsoft have also paid Adblock Plus for whitelisting.
