Internet giants Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Taboola have reportedly paid AdBlock Plus to allow their ads to pass through its filter software.
The confidential deals were confirmed by the Financial Times, the paper reported today.

Yeah that checkbox in the options, I remember the mild ruckus when it was going to allow some ads, I've had those "acceptables" turned off since that feature was first introduced.
It's been years since I've even seen an ad, so don't even think about it.

I see static text ads once in awhile with Adblock Plus in Firefox. AdBlock in Chrome, well some animated/flashing annoying variety get through it and have to be manually blocked.
