I noticed yesterday and it’s also affecting other sites where Google serves ads, like Reddit.

I don’t use Chrome so whatever they did is affecting Adblock elsewhere too.

Who uses Adblock Plus? Isn't uBlock Origin (Lite) the shit to go to?

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

ABP hasn't been relevant for years, because they started on "acceptable ads" back in 2011.

Anyone with sense has long since moved on.
