Note: This is explicitly posted in my private blog rather than the Adblock Plus blog. This post represents my own opinion only. It is likely unwise to rant about a competing project but I just dont want to keep my findings to myself. If you are here for Adblock Plus bashing and dont care enough to read the post, please make sure to read the edit at the bottom nevertheless.
On Chrome, two popular ad blockers are currently available: AdBlock and Adblock Plus. Despite the confusingly similar names, they are completely unrelated projects. I am in charge of the latter, yet people will occasionally ask me whether I would recommend AdBlock or Adblock Plus to them. There is certainly lots of room for improvement in Adblock Plus for Chrome, so my answer typically goes along the lines of: These projects have different approaches but the resulting products are roughly comparable. Recently, I looked over to the AdBlock for Chrome project and was shocked to discover that things changed, a lot actually. So next time somebody asks me about AdBlock and the difference to Adblock Plus, I can point them to this blog post.

I use 11.0 and it works just fine with AdBlock Plus and NoScript
Running Opera 12.16 on the Linux 32-bit OS on this end, with Adblock Plus, Ghostery, and Script Weeder helping out considerably. :)
Thanks for the tip.
