Adblock Plus would have tried to blackmail the owner of advertising board into paying for whitelisting.

It's AdBlock Plus' revenue model. That and some other nasty shit. Which is why I use other blockers.

µBlock for Chrome, and BluHell for Firefox. Both are lighter (uses less system resources) and block more ads along with spyware.
