Agreed, "Adblock Edge" is the way to go. Original "Adbock Plus" gets money from Google to not filter their ads:

    Google has tried to fight back against Adblock, partly by paying Adblock to whitelist some of their ads. 
    Google’s business model is all about ads but as awareness of Adblock grows it’s increasingly difficult to get ads in front of online users.
