Other folks who've commented on Adblock Plus have hit the important stuff. I just want to follow up with the comment that it also tends to bog down the browser after a certain point; browsing just got painfully slow on Firefox with it. I didn't bother troubleshooting it because that was around the same time they started allowing ads, so I bailed and didn't look back.
