From the looks of it, you can just turn off the whitelist / "acceptable ads" list, or perhaps edit it. I haven't gotten around to fiddling around with it yet.

You may want to try Adblock Edge, posted about above, which doesn't use an "acceptable ads" list.
I did a quick search for adblock edge before posting the other message, but only found a version for firefox.

Could someone tell me the point of ABE? ABP has an option to disable the white list so I really don't understand the need for ABE.
For me, it's trust. The whitelisting simply isn't there, can't be manipulated to be enabled (I think), and shouldn't 'accidentally' be enabled by update.
In the past I also found a popped up ad being hidden by ABP but its wrapper not (it means you see invisible wall of unclickable content) meanwhile on ABE it's all clear. I'm not sure whether the problem is bug in the newer engine of ABP or simply because whitelisting, nevertheless it's super annoying.

Oh I forgot, I also use FF.
Chrome has fatal flaw for me: inability to render their own Google Fonts perfectly. The otherwise gorgeous fonts would look either a bit jaggies, thinner or stretched depending on the font. Sometimes it's simply not loading the custom font. It could be fix with CSS+JS but I can't expect every webmaster know that.

On a project as big as chrome you think they would.
I seriously don't like how chrome scales things, i've just gotten use to it.

OK I'm FUMING!!! I HAVE to keep ads off for ALL sites due to possible malware and I gotta keep all my systems clean due to I test beta hardware and software for MAJOR COMPANIES and if shit gets leaked I might be SUED so i I gotta keep stuff extra secure and if these sellout ___________s wanna do this crap I will HOSTSFILE these ___ into oblivion.

another reason to use enterprise grade hardware to keep out shit like this.

Look, I've noticed some ads getting through, I haven't whitelisted anything in AB+ and then I see this article about Microsoft and Google paying to get on their whitelist so I post about it to let others know about this. It's as simple as that. Really, don't read too much into it.

Calling me a douche who is "fearmongering" and "spreading unfounded hate" are ridiculous and annoying accusations from yourself :slap: and is actually a persona attack which you can't do here, as you well know. I can quite easily say that you're an idiot who's simply polluting my thread with hate statements. See how it feels, hmmm? Let's have no more of this from you, thanks.
I had written what I felt was a good reply to this but I will abstain from it. I don't take back what I said as I believe it to be true. I have more to say if you want me to defend my argument but I would really rather not as I don't want to come off as negative. I don't enjoy negative discourse.

My advice for you as I've already stated is to report the offending ad so they can fix it. That helps everyone.

I think the difference here is who'se gotten onto that paid whitelist, which would help to explain the increase in ads I'm seeing. Other sites are also reporting the same thing.

From the looks of it, you can just turn off the whitelist / "acceptable ads" list, or perhaps edit it. I haven't gotten around to fiddling around with it yet.

It doesn't really matter which one's pay, if you turn off the "acceptable ads".

How to turn off "acceptable ads":
But I hate all ads!

No problem, you can disable this feature at any time. To do so:

On Firefox: click the Adblock Plus icon and choose Filter Preferences from the menu. Uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising" and you are done.

On Chrome: right-click the Adblock Plus icon in the address bar on the right, then choose Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."

On Opera: click the Opera menu button in the left corner at the top (on OS X: click Window at the top), choose Extensions, find Adblock Plus there, click on Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."

On Internet Explorer: click the Adblock Plus icon in the status bar on the right, then choose Options and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising."

On Safari: click the Adblock Plus icon in the address bar on the left, choose Options, and uncheck "Allow non-intrusive advertising"

On Android: click the Adblock Plus icon in the notification bar at the top, then uncheck "Acceptable Ads / Allow some non-intrusive advertising."

However, if you are still seeing ads, and such... you may be using the wrong lists or need to report the ads to the list keepers sites.

>This is a list of actively maintained filter subscriptions.< Also, in this subscription list you can other lists which block social media sites, those stupid "we require cookies" stuff, malware site lists, scam site lists, and privacy protection.

However, remember the more lists you add, the longer the search through them, so it may delay your browsing.

Quote from ABP on this:
It is important to note that you should not add too many filterlists to Adblock Plus. This will slow down the adblocker, therefore, your browsing. As a rule of thumb, it is highly recommended to not use overlapping filterlists (e.g. choose either EasyList OR Fanboy's List).

Quote from ABP site on choosing the right list:
Choosing the right filterlist

As previously described, Adblock Plus requires filterlists to block ads. By itself, Adblock Plus can only see the webpage you are loading, but has to be "told" by the filterlist which elements to block. When you install Adblock Plus for the first time, it will automatically suggest a filterlist to you based on the language settings of your browser.
There are a two basic lists out there, EasyList and Fanboy's List. These two lists block the ads from the most popular (often English) websites. However, these lists do not block ads on less popular national websites. In the case that you, for example, come from Germany, you will have to subscribe to the national German filter list. In this case, this will be "EasyList Germany + EasyList". An overview of all the lists can be found here.
It is important to note that you should not add too many filterlists to Adblock Plus. This will slow down the adblocker, therefore, your browsing. As a rule of thumb, it is highly recommended to not use overlapping filterlists (e.g. choose either EasyList OR Fanboy's List).
You can also use filterlists to protect yourself against tracking, malware, social media tracking, etc. Read more about this here.

If you happen to be a poor typist or misspell sometimes, then URL fixer may help in FF.

Easy chief you can go sit down over there and let the adults talk about software policy. If you genuinely feel like you need to attempt to correct grammar and or spelling I suggest you do so here. http://www.gooverseas.com/teach-abroad/czech-republic

It may have been written poorly but it was sensical. If you absolutely feel the need to nitpick, at least make it about the topic.

That's more a problem with your system than with Adblock, mine runs fine with it installed on all my computers, no slowing at all.

Yes, most likely, except that it is not.

And by slowing, I meant that rather than a webpage loading in ~ 1 second, it would take 2 or 3 seconds. Trivial, perhaps, but quite noticeable to me.

The fact remains; with NoScript and Ghostery (and a substantial Hosts file, which I neglected to mention) I never see an ad or pop-up.

Mine still blocks the annoying ones I had. I open a movie on putlocker and 2 or 3 other pages open until I can watch something. Now that I installed this it doesn't happen anymore, only on some xxx site's but that's maybe 1 or 2% of the time.

I'm still satisfied with it.
TNX for the info anyway

Must be problem on your end. I am not getting any increased loading times either.

Neither am I, since removing it.

So, how many ads do you see with AdBlock installed?

I see none what-so-ever with it not installed.

In my opinion, using ad-blockers that allow even one ad are a failure, and might as well be removed.

EDIT:

@Octopuss,

I will edit my post, rather than reply to your post below; I have no interest in arguing with you, or trying to see who gets the 'last word'.

I use what works best for me. If you have different results, then you should go with what works best for you.
