Switch to UBLOCK ORIGIN. It works much better as an ad blocker.
I use both ABP and uBlock. They play well together and I completely forget that there are ads incessantly popping up on websites until I am on someone else’s computer and see all the wonders I am “missing”.
Another believer in “UBLOCK ORIGIN” - far lighter & faster without the bogging down of AdBlockPlus
Test-driving uBlock Origin now with Disable HTML5 Autoplay just added now. Still running ABP also while waiting for further news.
Here’s something even better: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
it uses host files so it works on all browsers and protects your machine overall from any other ways they may try to connect to these sites.
