Use AdBlock. Not AdBlock Plus. Remember: ABP = Shit. AB = Good.

  Or, if you're using Chrome/Chromium/Opera, try uBlock: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock I use AdBlock on one machine and uBlock on the other, both in Opera. I've not noticed any real difference in unattended use, except uBlock seems to use less resources.

  Well, ABP has "acceptable ads" turned on by default , but Adblock is pretty much just worse in every way.. Here's a few items from the changelog before they moved to a closed development mode AdBlock 2.6.11 (2013-10-25): The AdBlock feature which sends a unique user ID to the AdBlock server every day has been extended. The server can now decide that the user should see a survey — this one is being opened in a new tab, immediately, no matter what the user is doing right now. AdBlock 2.6.14 (2013-11-09): AdBlock won’t just send a unique user ID to its server now, it will also transmit user’s setting determining whether Google Search ads are allowed. AdBlock 2.6.29 (2014-04-28): The “AdBlock custom filters” (AdBlock-specific filter list that is installed by default and listed as recommended) add a set of filters to whitelist Mixpanel tracking on the AdBlock website. AdBlock 2.7 (2014-06-06): Also, AdBlock will tell getadblock.com whether AdBlock has just been installed or has been used for a while

  Or use Adblock Edge https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/ which is a Adblock Plus fork minus the "acceptable ads" feature.

    ...which is based on outdated code base.
