And Adblock Plus itself has disclosed thatВ big entitiesВ are paying them a licensing fee for whitelisting their ads. It means that they do not block ads that are considered as Acceptable Ads and hence they have whitelisted few advertisers.ДЄctually, if reports like thisВ and this are true then Google and other large advertisers have paid Adblock Plus to not blockВ their ads. BothВ Adblock Plus andВ AdblockВ allow what they call вЂњnon-intrusive advertisingвЂќ. ThatвЂ™s not all! ThereвЂ™s anВ ugly similarity too. It basically means that if Adblock Plus is blocking an ad then it will be blocked by AdBlock as well orВ vice versa. In fact both use the sameВ filters as wellВ and they are calling it the EasyList(created by Adblock Plus). Once again, both AdBlock for Chrome and Adblock Plus for Chrome offers similarВ features as far as basic features (malware protection, shows number of ads blocked, blacklisting, whitelisting) and options (acceptable ads, right-click menu) are concerned. However, AdBlock has almost 2x more ratings than Adblock Plus on Chrome Web Store, so I guess itвЂ™sВ safe to assume that itвЂ™s the most popular ad blocker onВ Google Chrome. and вЂAdBlockвЂ™ is available for Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, and iOS.ДЄdblock Plus is the most popular Firefox add-on with over 21 million users (itвЂ™s got theВ first-mover advantage on Mozilla Firefox) and AdBlock is the most popular Chrome extension (itвЂ™s got theВ first-mover advantage on Google Chrome).Д«y the way, both AdBlock and Adblock Plus claims that itвЂ™s the most popular ad blocker and both have over 40 million users. Now вЂAdBlock PlusвЂ™ is also available for Google Chrome,В Android, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer,В etc. WhatвЂ™s the difference? Well, itВ sounds similar but they are two different extensions developed independently.ДЄpparently, AdBlock was inspired by Adblock Plus itself when it was just a Firefox only add-on. Adblock & Adblock Plus: A Brief HistoryДЄs you probably know, the two most popular ad blockers for Google ChromeВ areВ AdBlock and Adblock Plus. But itвЂ™s something else -В which I will explain below. The only thing isвЂ¦ itвЂ™s NOTВ the extensionвЂ™s ad blocking capability that I find interesting. However, I triedВ AdBlock few months backВ - when YouTube ads became increasingly annoying - and immediately realized that itвЂ™s a must-have for me.

So, I argued with myself why should I install an adblocker when it doesnвЂ™t make any difference. In fact, as I write this blog post, both AdBlock and Adblock Plus have over 50 million users.В I was actually not using an adblocker until few months ago as I rarely click ads.
