Topic: ADblock sellouts - READ THIS FOR SOLUTION! (Read 1553 times)
Thank you, sickhouse, for bringing this to my attention. I unchecked the box that allows some ads to get through. Like you, I HATE ads. Period. 
No problems, where is that box located? Did a fast search-through but didn't find anything.It seems you already found a solution, but I will answer anyway. I use ABP and found the check box by opening the menu-> filter preferences. In the filter subscriptions tab you will find the check box at the bottom of the window.

There is an update to this:
Update: A person who works with AdBlock Plus wanted to clarify how AdBlock Plus' whitelisting works:
1) Only non-intrusive ads that meet "Acceptable Ads" guidelines (as decided by public forum) can be unblocked; there is no way to 'buy' a whitelisting. The public community has the final decision.
2) Acceptable Ad guidelines are also defined by the community (and not by Adblock Plus) as non-intrusive, text-only ads. Anything else — e.g. video ads, pop-ups, banners, animated ads and others — continue to be blocked.
3) Even the whitelisted ads can still be blocked; users can switch off the Acceptable Ads filter with one click in their Options menu.3
I think you can sleep peacefully.
Yeah that guy is very wrong because I just had to watch a 30 sec commercial on youtube. Didn't even get to skip it, it's not virus I am afraid off I fucking hate ads.Update: A person who works with AdBlock Plus wanted to clarify how AdBlock Plus' whitelisting works:

Adblock edge is the best one for Firefox.
This has been going on for some time, the original adblock guys wouldn't block "non-intrusive" ads and were always coming up for reasons not to block specific ads. Adblock edge doesn't have this restriction.
Thank you for this! Seems to work like a charm, gonna edit my OP so people can get that one instead.

I thought ads were sneaking through the fucking sites I was visitng! Especially on bittorrent sites!
You can still block them though by right clicking and block banner. But the youtube vids are a pain in the ass. There is an update to this:

Seen it on other sites as well so it's not just google.
ADblock creators are sellouts, I can't blame them though they must make a shitload of money now. But now I need a new addon to block the ads, does anyone know about one? I use FireFox.
EDIT: This one seems to solve it;

Alternative solution in case you want to keep adblock plus instead;
It seems you already found a solution, but I will answer anyway. I use ABP and found the check box by opening the menu-> filter preferences. In the filter subscriptions tab you will find the check box at the bottom of the window.
