Just to avoid misunderstandings - they are different projects, and Adblock is abandoned. The difference between the two is explained on <a href="http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#adblock" rel="nofollow">http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#adblock</a>.<br><br>As to some ads not being blocked: the assumption that some software might "magically" block all advertising is wrong of course. Adblock Plus only blocks what should be blocked according to filters, and by default it comes without any filters at all. I guess you subscribed to some filter list, one of many (see <a href="http://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions" rel="nofollow">list of subscriptions</a>). Depending on the preferences of the filter list maintainer, it could be more or less effective for the sites you visit.Wladimir Palanthttp://adblockplus.org/noreply@blogger.com
