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

Note the difference between μBlock and μBlock Origins.

They've both dropped the mu have are now just uBlock/uBlock Origin

Why don't more people use hosts files and apps like gas mask to switch them?

how many people know what a host file is ? that will answer your question. ad-block is the simplest way to block ads for a non technical user.

Adblock needs an adblocker. An adblock-blocker, if you will.

I would like to see some examples of these new ads. I've seen some text based ads, which I think, are much better and cleaner than the early 2000s obtrusive style.
