  Agreed, but I had to ding the devs of Adblock for their recent slip in of the
default setting to:

"Allow some non-intrusive advertising"

  WTF??  It appeared and smelled like a sellout. When the add-on update hit my
kids boxes, and they had no idea what this was, and I was shocked to find it
enabled by default. Hopefully Adblock will re-think the cost to its reputation
for this 'let the ads that pay us in' option...

(yes I see that it is only for small ads, yada yada yada.. right bucko)

  If you haven't checked, go to:

Edit->Preferences->Add-ons->Adblock Plus->Filter Preferences, then uncheck:

[x] Allow some non-intrusive advertising

  Good grief!
