And this morning this extension gave me a popup saying they're going to have a default whitelisting going forward. Uninstalled and switched to uBlock.

I've been using it for a month now. Can't recommend it more.
"Can't recommend it enough" is what you meant to say, I want to believe.

#83Note that Adblock isn't Adblock Plus: AdBlock is not to be confused with Adblock Plus. The creator of AdBlock claims to have been inspired by the Adblock Plus extension for Firefox, which is itself based on another extension called Adblock. But otherwise AdBlock is unrelated to the other efforts. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdBlock ] No alarm here for ABP users. (Like me).
Okay this is why we have registered trademarks. You're telling me that Adblock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock are three separate things? What the hell? I just assumed they were all the same thing until now.
You do not need to have a trademark registered to have trademark rights: you only need to be able to show that people associate the name with your brand.

There's also two different versions of uBlock.
uTorrent started a meme of confusion. :)

Oh I had no idea that would prevent it from working. I wish they made that clear. Thanks!
> I wish they made that clear I agree, I opened an issue to address this: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/773
Hi gorhill,
Love the app, by the way. It's the single reason I have Firefox on my Android device instead of Chrome.
Do you happen to know WHY the leak breaks Hangouts? I'm assuming Hangouts now leverages the webRTC for connection--that's fine. But I was under the impression that the local IP leak was an unintended side-effect of webRTC, not a 'required component', if you will. Does having that checkbox on effectively break ALL webRTC components, or is it something specific with Hangouts' implementation?

I kept rereading OP's comment and looking for the difference between Adblock and AdBlock. It wasn't until your comment that I noticed the capital B in Block. Trademarks FTW. Great example of confusion in the marketplace.
I read through nearly the entire thread thinking that the Adblock mentioned had a capital B.
Coming soon: uAdblock Origin Plus+.

It is open source. http://code.getadblock.com/releases/ Edit: Found the right fork https://adblockplus.org/source
As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion AdBlock is not Adblock Plus. The second link you posted is for the Adblock Plus source code. Unfortunately at the moment the AdBlock Git repository is not public, but I have set up this unofficial one that tracks the changes between each zip published on their releases page. https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock Specifically if you want to see what they've changed so far have…
Well the first two links in the article are to AdBlock Plus, that's why I was confused.

Let's hope they trademark the name... After reading the comment above about Adblock, AdBlock, and Adblock Plus, it would be much easier to know exactly what product the news is about.

Don't forget about Adblock Edge, AdBlock Lite, μ Adblock, and Ad Blockerr:
