This is interesting to me--their extension page doesn't say this, but I imagine they wouldn't advertise it. Can you provide some backup for the AdBlock claim? I'm not challenging this claim, just wondering where you found this; I'd be interested in reading through it.

I'm using AdBlock rather than AdBlockPlus; I don't know if they're both working that way, given JDGumby's claim re: AdBlock above. I'm curious now to find out!
