According to The Register, AdBlock Plus is now brokering ads: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/13 ... ocked_ads/
Nowadays, an effective ad-blocker is part of an effective anti-virus suite, because of the non-zero number of ads that automatically deliver malware to computers. If a company is brokering ads, then the company has a financial interest in being not an effective ad-blocker.
Any suggestions for a replacement for ABP? I'm running the most recent version of FireFox.
