AdBlock Plus To Not Block All Ads
Josh:
Seeing the same thing as wraith here.
wraith808:
Even worse- I found out the domain the ads were coming from, and added them as rules. They *still* are not blocked, even when I make them as simple as possible. That would seem to mean that ABP has exceptions built-in the extension.

Yeah ditto. I noticed that too and assumed I was just doing something wrong or not understanding.
Leads me to strongly suspect the developers may have backdoored their own extension.
superboyac:
adblock is not able to block the faint-yellow google ads on top of your searches now. The explanation I've heard is that google has changed the default search protocol from http to https (you can see in your address bar). Ad muncher is still able to block them, even though ad muncher doesn't yet support filtering https pages.

So I turned off the non-intrusive ads thinking that it had miscategorized, and they were still not blocked.-wraith808 (October 27, 2012, 12:34 PM)

Bad, bad, bad and FSCKING BAD!
Sounds like it's really something happening in the extension and not the filterlists. I can understand why it might be happening, money makes the world go round... but even I would have had the guts to at least make an announcement about selling my soul before I did it :/
So... does anybody have an archive of ABP .xpi files? Should be possible to diff the stuff and see what's happened.
