Adblock Plus sold out a long time ago. I switched to uBlock about a year ago, and haven't looked back.

I hope their ads are small unobtrusive and easy to detect, so that another ad blocker can easily remove them :)

At this point Adblock Plus is little more than a cheap money grab.

I'm not sure that I understand how exactly you imagine 2 AdBlockers being a good idea? Just use a proper one.

Note the difference between μBlock and μBlock Origins.
