      It also appears to count ads that are commented out in code. So it is blocking things that are not there, as well.

        I started using it because of @Jaguar so we can all blame him 😛

          You should be using uBlock origin instead of ABP. They sold out to advertisers, so they're useless now. uBlock works much better, even blocks ads on Pandora.

            @RojoLoco I actually made the switch a week or so ago... I love it.

              I've been using Brave for a while now and it has really come along over the past year or so. I still use chrome for somethings, but Brave has started to become my main driver. Blocks ad built in. From what I can tell, Brave is seen as chrome around the interwebs.

                    Opera now blocks ads, and is built on chromium. But I still use the blocker for maximum blockage. Gotta check out brave.

                        Late to the party, but it was I and someone else at MangoCon that dug into it and found that counts all unused/unshown ads
