Am I really surprised?
I bet the people who have contributed via https://adblockplus.org/en/donate are really happy about this!

Yahoo mail introduced a spam blocker years ago with a spam folder. To begin with it was pretty decent and yes it does filter virtually all the phishing emails but it does frequently let through genuine advertising emails too - I wonder why

Quote from: dvorak already discussed.. https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,135258.16.html
I'd missed that.
What isn't in that topic is that by turning off the option "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" apparently stops the paid for ads (for now).

Quote from: Oldjim I don't have that option
Are you using "AdBlock" or "AdBlockPlus"? The two are completely unrelated despite the similar names...

Quote from: jelv He's using ABP (see his screen capture on reply #4) but looking in the wrong place.
Ah, didn't see it, with a lot of signatures with pictures in on the forum makes me ignore text & imagery below posts unless they say they have an attached item...

Quote from: Marksfish Problem is that sites are getting used to adblockers now and it is affecting browsing in some cases. I don't use it very often, but the free version of Flightradar won't run if you have adblocker enabled.
Very strange to read that... I have ABP running and no problems with Flightradar24 running http://www.flightradar24.com/
